The thinking man must oppose all cruel customs no matter how deeply rooted in tradition or surrounded by a halo. We need a boundless ethics which will include the animals also. My life is full of meaning to me. The life around me must be full of significance to it. If I want others to respect my life, then I must respect the other life I see however strange it may be to mine. Ethics in our western world has hitherto been largely limited to the relation of man to man... but that is a limited ethics.
Albert SchweitzerIt seemed incredible to me, that physical courage should be so commonplace and revered, while moral courage . . . is so rare and despised.
Albert SchweitzerA man can do only what he can do. But if he does that each day he can sleep at night and do it again the next day.
