Wisdom Quote by Gary L. Francione — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“Animals are property. There are laws that supposedly protect animal interests”

“I reject animal welfare reform and single-issue campaigns because they are not only inconsistent with the claims of justice that we should be making if we really believe that animal exploitation is wrong, but because these approaches cannot work as a practical matter. Animals are property and it costs money to protect their interests; therefore, the level of protection accorded to animal interests will always be low and animals will, under the best of circumstances, still be treated in ways that would constitute torture if applied to humans.”

“We can no more justify using nonhumans as human resources than we can justify human slavery. Animal use and slavery have at least one important point in common: both institutions treat sentient beings exclusively as resources of others. That cannot be justified with respect to humans; it cannot be justified with respect to nonhumans—however “humanely” we treat them.”

“We do not need to eat animals, wear animals, or use animals for entertainment purposes, and our only defense of these uses is our pleasure, amusement, and convenience.”

“Beware those who stand nearest,”

“AI is the new electricity.”

“ما في المقامِ لذي عقلٍ وذي أدب”

“You know what they say?” Nonna paused, “The character of the Venetian people is like the tide.”

“Too much stress cannot be laid...upon the admonition that we seek so far as possible to live in the lives of other people. By sharing in the misfortunes of others, and rejoicing in their happiness, you add to your own emotional serenity and stability.”

“It's not enough to be nice in life. You've got to have nerve.”
