Every law is an infraction of liberty.

Why should the law refuse its protection to any sensitive being? The time will come when humanity will extend its mantle over everything which breathes.

Is it possible for a man to move the earth? Yes; but he must first find out another earth to stand upon.

A civilized society must count animals as worthy of moral consideration and ethical treatment. The question is not, Can they reason? nor Can they talk? but, Can they suffer?

Bodies are real entities. Surfaces and lines are but fictitious entities. A surface without depth, a line without thickness, was never seen by any man; no; nor can any conception be seriously formed of its existence.

Every law is an infraction of liberty.

Lawyers are the only persons in whom ignorance of the law is not punished.
