One of Raymond's favorite quotes is:""Could you look an animal in the eye & say my appetite is more important than your suffering?" - Moby-
"Man is the only animal that can remain on friendly terms with the victims he intends to eat until he eats them." ~Samuel Butler
"Teach a man to reason and he’ll think for a lifetime." - Phil Plait
"Even if you want no state, or a minimal state, then you have to argue point by point. Especially since the minimalists want to keep the economic and police system that keeps them privileged. That's libertarians for you - anarchists who want police protection from their slaves. No! If you want to make the minimum-state case, you have to argue it from the ground up."
- Kim Stanley Robinson, Green Mars
"Beware the irrational, however seductive. Shun the 'transcendent' and all who invite you to subordinate or annihilate yourself. Distrust compassion; prefer dignity for yourself and others. Don't be afraid to be thought arrogant or selfish. Picture all experts as if they were mammals. Never be a spectator of unfairness or stupidity. Seek out argument and disputation for their own sake; the grave will supply plenty of time for silence. Suspect your own motives, and all excuses. Do not live for others any more than you would expect others to live for you."
— Christopher Hitchens
"The time will come when men such as I will look upon the murder of animals as they now look upon the murder of men." -Leonardo Da Vinci
"Violence is the last refuge of the incompetent."
Isaac Asimov
"I contend that we are both atheists. I just believe in one fewer god than you do. When you understand why you dismiss all the other possible gods, you will unde...Expand for more
rstand why I dismiss yours."
~ Stephen Roberts
"There is a time when the operation of the machine becomes so odious, makes you so sick at heart, that you can't take part; you can't even passively take part, and you've got to put your bodies upon the gears and upon the wheels, upon the levers, upon all the apparatus, and you've got to make it stop. And you've got to indicate to the people who run it, to the people who own it, that unless you're free, the machine will be prevented from working at all!"
- Mario Savio
"I am an atheist, out and out. It took me a long time to say it. I've been an atheist for years and years, but somehow I felt it was intellectually unrespectable to say one was an atheist, because it assumed knowledge that one didn't have. Somehow, it was better to say one was a humanist or an agnostic. I finally decided that I'm a creature of emotion as well as of reason. Emotionally, I am an atheist. I don't have the evidence to prove that God doesn't exist, but I so strongly suspect he doesn't that I don't want to waste my time."
Isaac Asimov in Free Inquiry (Spring 1982)
"For the animal shall not be measured by man. In a world older and more complete than ours, they move finished and complete, gifted with extensions of the senses we have lost or never attained, living by voices we shall never hear. They are not brethren, they are not underlings; they are other nations, caught with ourselves in the net of life and time, fellow prisoners of the splendor and travail of the earth."
— Henry Beston
"The Bible is not my book, and Christianity is not my religion. I could never give assent to the long, complicated statements of Christian dogma."
~ Abraham Lincoln
..."It hurts to set you free
But you'll never follow me
The end of laughter and soft lies
The end of nights we tried to die..."
Jim Morrison
"Putting all the vegetables away
That you bought at the grocery store today
And it goes fast
You think of the past
Suddenly everything has changed..."
The Flaming Lips
"I used to love meat too, then I evolved..."
