"There's a schizoid quality to our relationship with animals, in which sentiment and brutality exist side by side. Half the dogs in America will receive Christmas presents this year, yet few of us pause to consider the miserable life of the pig - an animal easily as intelligent as a dog -that becomes the Christmas ham." -The New York Times
"As long as people will shed the blood of innocent creatures there can be no peace, no liberty, no harmony between people. Slaughter and Justice cannot dwell together." -Isaac Bashevis Singer

"I feel the same way about solitude as some people feel about the blessing of the church. It's the light of grace for me. I never close the door behind me wihout the awareness that I am carrying out an act of mercy toward myself. " Smila's Sense of Snow
