If he be really and seriously seeking to live a good life, the first thing from which he will abstain will always be the use of animal food, because ...its use is simply immoral, as it involves the performance of an act which is contrary to the moral feeling - killing.

Energy rests upon love; and come as it will, there's no forcing it.

Man by violating his own feelings becomes cruel. And how deeply seated in the human heart is the injunction not to take life.

The whole trouble lies in that people think that there are conditions excluding the necessity of love in their intercourse with man, but such conditions do not exist. Things may be treated without love; one may chop wood, make bricks, forge iron without love, but one can no more deal with people without love than one can handle bees without care.

Man lives consciously for himself, but is an unconscious instrument in the attainment of the historic, universal, aims of humanity.

As often happens between men who have chosen different pursuits, each, while in argument justifying the other's activity, despised it in the depth of his heart.

Everything depends on upbringing.
