Rupert Read’s Animal Rights Credentials:
My favourite quotes
- May you live this day, Compassionate of heart, Clear of word, Gracious in awareness, Courageous in thought, Generous in love. (Quaker saying)
- "The modern conservative is engaged in one of man's oldest exercises in moral philosophy; that is, the search for a superior moral justification for selfishness." - J.K. Galbraith
- "To see what is in front of one's nose is a constant struggle." - George Orwell
- "I am aware that many object to the severity of my language; but is there not cause for severity? I will be as harsh as truth, and as uncompromising as justice. On this subject, I do not wish to think, or speak, or write with moderation. NO! NO! Tell a man whose house is on fire to give a moderate alarm; tell him to moderately rescue his wife from the hands of a ravisher; tell the mother to gradually extricate her babe from the fire into which it has fallen; but urge me not to use moderation in a cause like the present. I am in earnest - I will not equivocate - I will not excuse. I will not retreat a single inch - and I will be heard!" - William Lloyd Garrison, Abolitionist Leader on Slavery in America 1831.
- "This crisis is bringing us an opportunity to experience what fewgenerations in history have ever had the privilige of knowing: agenerational mission; the exhilaration of a compelling moral purpose; ashared and unifying cause; the thrill of being forced by circumstancesto put aside the pettiness and conflict that so often stifle therestless human need for transcendence; the opportunity to rise. When wedo rise, it will fill our spirits and bind us together. Those who arenow suffocating in cynicism and despair will be able to breathe freely.Those who are now suffering from a loss of meaning in their lives willfind hope. When we rise, we will experience an epiphany as we discoverthat this crisis is not really about politics at all. It is a moral andspiritual challenge." Al Gore.
- 'A Politician thinks of the next election, a Statesman thinks of the next generation'. Anonymous.
- 'The world was not given to us by our parents; it was loaned to us by our children'. Kenyan proverb.
- Joanna Macy and Molly Young Brown: “To be conscious in our world today is to be aware of vast suffering and unprecedented peril… The feelings that assail us now cannot be equated with ancient dreads of mortality… Their source lies less in concerns for the personal self than in apprehensions of collective suffering - of what happens to our own and other species, to the legacy of our ancestors, to unborn generations… That pain is the price of consciousness in a threatening and suffering world. It is not only natural, it is an absolutely necessary component of our collective healing. As in all organisms, pain has a purpose: it is a warning signal, designed to trigger remedial action. The problem, therefore, lies not with our pain for the world, but in our repression of it."
