“Life is like a box of crayons.
Most people are the 8-color boxes,
but what you're really looking for
are the 64-color boxes with the
sharpeners on the back. I fancy
myself to be a 64-color box, though
I've got a few missing. It's ok
though, because I've got some more
vibrant colors like periwinkle at my
disposal. I have a bit of a problem
though in that I can only meet the
8-color boxes. Does anyone else have
that problem? I mean there are so many
different colors of life, of feeling,
of articulation.. so when I meet someone
who's an 8-color type.. I'm like, "hey
girl, magenta!" and she's like,
"oh, you mean purple!" and she goes off
on her purple thing, and I'm like,
"no - I want magenta!"
-John Mayer

You must be the change you wish to see in the world ~ Mahatma Gandhi
The best doctor gives the least medicines.
~ Benjamin Franklin
"A human being is a part of the whole called by us "Universe," a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separated 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". ~ Albert Einstein
A woman gains status when she refuses to see anything killed to be put on her back. Then she's truly beautiful." ~ Doris Day
And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom. ~ Anais Nin
"Life is short, Break the rules, Forgive quickly, Kiss slowly, Love truly, Laugh uncontrollably, And never regret anything that made you smile.
"If people let government decide which foods they eat and medicines they take, their bodies will soon be in as sorry a state as are the souls of those who live under tyranny" ~ Thomas Jefferson
The secret to success is not to try to avoid or get rid of or shrink from your problems; the secret to success is to grow yourself so that you are bigger than any problem. –T. Harv Eker
"As long as humanity continues to be the ruthless destroyer of other beings, we will never know health or peace. For as long as people massacre animals, they will kill each other. Indeed those who sow the seed of murder and pain will never reap joy and love." -Pythagoras
“One of the most tragic things I know about human nature is that all of us tend to put off living. We are all dreaming of some magical rose garden over the horizon-instead of enjoying the roses blooming outside our windows today.” - Dale Carnegie
"Without deviation from the norm, progress is not possible." - Frank Zappa
“The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated” - Mahatma Gandhi
“I have learned from an early age to abjured the use of meat, and 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
“The most common way people give up their power is by thinking they don't have any.” - Alice Walker
“Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him power.” - Abraham Lincoln
"All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as self-evident." Arthur Schopenhauer, German philosopher
"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." -Henry Thoreau
"Vegetarian food leaves a deep impression on our nature. If the whole world adopts vegetarianism, it can change the destiny of humankind."
-Albert Einstein
"I do feel that spiritual progress does demand at some stage that we should cease to kill our fellow creatures for the satisfaction of our bodily wants." - Mahatma Gandhi
"The animals of the world exist for their own reasons. They were not made for humans any more than black people were made for whites or women for men. - Alice Walker"
“Animals are my friends, and I don't eat my friends”
- George Bernard Shaw
"Until we extend our circle of compassion to all living things, humanity will not find peace." - Albert Schweitzer
“One of the most tragic things I know about human nature is that all of us tend to put off living. We are all dreaming of some magical rose garden over the horizon-instead of enjoying the roses blooming outside our windows today.” - Dale Carnegie
"Besides agreeing with the aims of vegetarianism for aesthetic and moral reasons, it is my view that a vegetarian manner of living by its purely physical effect on the human temperament would most beneficially influence the lot of mankind." - Albert Einstein, Translation of letter to Hermann Huth, December 27, 1930.
"It always seems to me that man was not born to be a carnivore." - Albert Einstein
"I am in favor of animal rights as well as human rights. That is the way of a whole human being" -Abraham Lincoln
