We manage to swallow flesh, only because we do not think of the cruel and sinful thing we do.

The moment I began to understand what was going on with the treatment of animals, it led me more and more in the way of the path I am [on] now, which is a complete vegan.

If slaughterhouses had glass walls, everyone would be a vegetarian.

Eating meat is a leftover of the greatest brutality [killing]; the transition to vegetarianism is the first and most natural consequence of enlightenment.

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.

To become vegetarian is to step towards the stream which leads to nirvana.
