.A friend hears the song in my heart and sings it to me when my memory fails." - Unknown
True friendship is one of the greatest gifts anyone can give or receive. It is not to be used or abused. Please note that I have no interest in becoming just a number added to a list.

"The cruel wild beast is not behind the bars of the cage, he stands in front of it." Axel Munthe
"Kindness to all God's creatures is an absolute rock-bottom necessity if peace and righteousness is to prevail." Sir Richard Grenville
"Science without conscience is the death of the soul." Montaigne
"I regard all life as sacred, and it seems to me that in ethics we are concerned not alone with mankind but also with animals. The ethical ideal as I understand it is: help all life; have sympathy with all life; avoid injuring anything living." Sri T.L. Vaswant
"To us it seems incredible that the Greek philosophers should have scanned so deeply into right and wrong and yet never noticed the immorality of slavery. Perhaps 3000 years from now it will seem equally incredible that we do not notice the immorality of our own oppression of animals." Brigid Brophy
"Now what is it that moves our very heart and sickens us so much at cruelty shown to poor brutes? I suppose this: first that they have done us no harm; next, that they have no power whatever to resistance. It is the cowardice and tyranny of which they are the victims which makes their sufferings so especially touching....there is something so very dreadful, so satanic, in tormenting those who have nerver harmed us and who cannot defend themselves, who are utterly in our power." John Henry, Cardinal Newman
"I once had a sparrow alight on my shoulder for a moment while I was hoeing in a village garden, and I felt that I was more distinguished by that circumstance than I should have been by any epaulet I could have worn." Henry Thoreau
"Unless we extend our love and respect to all God's creatures, we cannot expect to live in peace among ourselves. And the alternative to peace, in this age of scientific progress, is becoming to appalling to comtemplate." Basil Wrighten
"Are our hearts so small that they can find no room for suffering human beings and animals? I have found that in the majority of cases, those who are kindly and merciful are quickly responsive to suffering of any living creature." Dom Ambrose Agius
"Torturing animals to prolong human life has separated science from the most important thing that life has produced.....conscience." John Cowper Powys
"Animals are my friends and I don't eat my friends." George Bernard Shaw
"Perhaps the time has come to formulate a moral code which would govern our relations with the great creatures of the sea as well as with those on dry land. That this will come to pass is our dearest wish. If human civilization is going to invade the water of the earth, then let it be first of all to carry a message of respect for all life." Jacques-Yves Cousteau

'1984'-read it when I was 10 & decided I would never let anyone tell me what to think. Better to die fighting for your freedom, than live forever enslaved.
