But I still couldn't figure out what it all meant. The more I found out, the less I understood.

Why didn't I learn to treat everything like it was the last time. My greatest regret was how much I believed in the future.

I know lots and lots and lots of vegetarians who think it's perfectly all right to kill animals for food to eat, but don't do it because they think all the ways in which it's done are wrong.

Factory farmers talk about their desire to feed the world. That's not what they're doing. They're feeding the world with really, really cheap stuff.

Sometimes I can feel my bones straining under the weight of all the lives I'm not living.

No matter how much I feel, I’m not going to let it out. If I have to cry, I’m gonna cry on the inside. If I have to bleed, I’ll bruise. If my heart starts going crazy, I’m not gonna tell everyone in the world about it. It doesn’t help anything. It just makes everyone’s life worse.

It is better to lose than never to have had.
