I did not become a vegetarian for my health, I did it for the health of the chickens. ~Isaac Bashevis

"if you put a baby in a crib with a bunny and apple do you think it will eat the bunny and play with the apple or eat the apple and play with the bunny?"
-Unknown
"The time will come when we will look upon the murder of animals as they now look upon the murder of humans."
-Leonardo da Vinci (yes he was veg)

"The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated." - Gandhi

the only meat i eat is between my boyfriends legs.
...its terribly dirty but i love it ...

"We need another and a wiser and perhaps a more mystical concept of animals. Remote from universal nature, and living by complicated artifice, man in civilization surveys the creature through the glass of his knowledge and sees thereby a feather magnified and the whole image in distortion. We patronize them for their incompleteness, for their tragic fate of having taken form so far below ourselves. And therein we err, and greatly err. 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 splendour and travail of the earth."

"When nonvegetarians say that 'human problems come first' I cannot help wondering what exactly it is that they are doing for human beings that compels them to continue to support the wasteful, ruthless exploitation of farm animals."- Peter Singer

If its a veggie it wont come out the other end heavy.

A human being is a part of the whole, called by us the 'Universe', a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings, as something separate from the rest - a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty. Nobody is able to achieve this completely, but the striving for such achievement is in itself a part of the liberation and a foundation for inner security.-Albert Einstein

Or

When a human being kills an animal for food, he is neglecting his own hunger for justice. Man prays for mercy, but is unwilling to extend it to others. Why then should man expect mercy from God? It is unfair to expect something that you are not willing to give.- Benjamin Franklin

"I don't eat anything with a face"- I heard Mary Tyler Moore say that.

"I don't eat anything that had a mom"...not sure who said that.

Yes, I'm a vegetarian, but not because I love animals, I'm a vegetarian because I hate plants.
- Jade Puget

...yep.

鈥淭he greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated鈥?br> Mahatma Gandhi

AND

"Unseen they suffer,
Unheard they cry,
In agony they linger,
In loneliness they die."
-Don't know who said it, I found it online.
