A. Whitney Brown
I am not a vegetarian because I love animals; I am a vegetarian because I hate plants.
Albert Einstein
Nothing will benefit human health and increase chances for survival of life on Earth as much as the evolution to a vegetarian diet.
Albert Einstein
Nothing will benefit human health and increase chances for survival of life on Earth as much as the evolution to a vegetarian diet.
Alex Poulos
I will not eat anything that walks, runs, skips, hops or crawls. God knows that I've crawled on occasion, and I'm glad that no one ate me.
Ambrose Bierce, The Devil's Dictionary
Fork: An instrument used chiefly for the purpose of putting dead animals into the mouth.
Andy Rooney
Vegetarian - that's an old Indian word meaning "lousy hunter."

Would you kill your pet dog or cat to eat it? How about an animal you're not emotionally attached to? Is the thought of slaughtering a cow or chicken or pig with your own hands too much to handle? Instead, would hiring a hit-man to do the job give you enough distance from the emotional discomfort? What animal did you put a contract out on for your supper last night? Did you at least make sure that none went to waste and to take a moment to be grateful for its sacrifice?

Author Unknown
I eat everything that nature voluntarily gives: fruits, vegetables, and the products of plants. But I ask you to spare me what animals are forced to surrender: meat, milk, and cheese.
Berke Breathed, Bloom County Babylon
Dear Lord, I've been asked, nay commanded, to thank Thee for the Christmas turkey before us... a turkey which was no doubt a lively, intelligent bird... a social being... capable of actual affection... nuzzling its young with almost human-like compassion. Anyway, it's dead and we're gonna eat it. Please give our respects to its family.
Bernie Wilke
I've found without question that the best way to lead others to a more plant-based diet is by example - to lead with your fork, not your mouth.
Bill Griffith, Griffith Observatory comic strip, 1977
Vegetarianism can easily reach religious proportions. Refraining from meat on moral grounds serves to dignify feelings of guilt toward sad-eyed, furry creatures and substitutes righteousness for squeamishness.
Bob Ekstrom
Tongue - a variety of meat, rarely served because it clearly crosses the line between a cut of beef and a piece of a dead cow.
Buddha
To become vegetarian is to step into the stream which leads to nirvana.
Cloris Leachman
As soon as I realized that I didn't need meat to survive or to be in good health, I began to see how forlorn it all is. If only we had a different mentality about the drama of the cowboy and the range and all the rest of it. It's a very romantic notion, an entrenched part of American culture, but I've seen, for example, pigs waiting to be slaughtered, and their hysteria and panic was something I shall never forget.
David Brenner
A vegetarian is a person who won't eat anything that can have children.
Finley Peter Dunne
Most vegetarians I ever see looked enough like their food to be classified as cannibals.
George Bernard Shaw
Animals are my friends... and I don't eat my friends.
