Nothing more strongly arouses our disgust than cannibalism, yet we make the same impression on Buddhists and vegetarians, for we feed on babies, though not our own
Robert Louis Stevenson
My situation is a solemn one. Life is offered to me on condition of eating beefsteaks. But death is better than cannibalism. My will contains directions for my funeral, which will be followed not by mourning coaches, but by oxen, sheep, flocks of poultry, and a small traveling aquarium of live fish, all wearing white scarfs in honor of the man who perished rather than eat his fellow creatures
George Bernard Shaw
Vegetarianism is harmless enough though it is apt to fill a man with wind and self-righteousness.
Robert Hutchison
Heart attacks... God's revenge for eating his little animal friends.

If we are not supposed to eat animals, then why are they made of meat?

I will not eat anything that walks, runs, skips, hops or crawls. God knows that I have crawled on occasion, and I am glad that no one ate me.
Alex Poulos
A man of my spiritual intensity does not eat corpses.
George Bernard Shaw
There is no substitute for mother's milk
Martin H. Fischer
I have found without question that the best way to lead others to a more plant-based diet is by example - to lead with your fork, not your mouth
Bernie Wilke
I have no doubt that it is a part of the destiny of the human race, in its gradual improvement, to leave off eating animals, as surely as the savage tribes have left off eating each other.
Henry David Thoreau
You have just dined, and however scrupulously the slaughterhouse is concealed in the graceful distance of miles, there is complicity.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Vegetarianism can easily reach religious proportions. Refraining from meat on moral grounds serves to dignify feelings of guilt toward sad-eyed, furry creatures and substitutes righteousness for squeamishness.
Bill Griffith
A man can live and be healthy without killing animals for food; therefore, if he eats meat, he participates in taking animal life merely for the sake of his appetite. And to act so is immoral
LEO TOLSTOY
I have no doubt that it is a part of the destiny of the human race, in its gradual improvement, to leave off eating animals, as surely as the savage tribes have left off eating each other when they came in contact with the more civilized
