"You never know what a man—or a woman—has inside: how much grit, how much courage, how much willingness to change. When someone draws on those qualities, youre looking at a person of substance. And power. And promise. This world needs more of those."

"Vivisection is the killing of animals to find cures for the diseases caused by eating animals."

"There are as many ways to eat a vegan diet as there are people who discover it. Just about any way you do it, provided you focus on unprocessed foods, include vitamin B12, and make a few adjustments for your individual needs and preferences, can be viable and health-promoting."

"If you hear yourself saying “I could never give up ice cream” (or something else), realize that you may just be short on vegucation. There are lots of rich, luscious nondairy ice creams on the market … If you have the necessary information and youre still saying “I could never give up...,” listen to yourself. Youre affirming weakness. … Youre bigger than that. You can eat plants and save lives. You can give your life exponentially more meaning by living in a way that decreases suffering just because you got up and chose a kind breakfast."

"I suppose I am one: an activist — for animals and a vegan lifestyle. I hear that word, however, and look around to see if someone is indeed referring to me."

"Nothing fills us with deep and lasting joy the way that doing a good turn for someone else does. Saving somebodys life, human or animal, is that “good turn” in spades."
