"I believe in preventing cruelty to all living beings in any form."
"Amongst the minds of animals that of man leads, not as a demigod from another planet, but as a king from the same race."
"As long as man eats animals how can cruelty to animals be removed."
"Reason number 106 why dogs are smarter than humans: once you leave the litter, you sever contact with your mothers."
