The average age (longevity) of a meat eater is 63. I am on the verge of 85 and still work as hard as ever. I have lived quite long enough and am trying to die; but I simply cannot do it. A single beef-steak would finish me; but I cannot bring myself to swallow it. I am oppressed with a dread of living forever. That is the only disadvantage of vegetarianism.

When a man says money can do anything, that settles it: he hasn't got any.

People become attached to their burdens sometimes more than the burdens are attached to them.

The greatest thing in life is to die young - but delay it as long as possible.

I am oppressed with a dread of living forever. That is the only disadvantage of vegetarianism.

I have my own soul. My own spark of divine fire.

When you prevent me from doing anything I want to do, that is persecution; when I prevent you from doing anything you want to do, that is law, order, and morals.
