vegetarianism is the taproot of humanitarianism.

Why should I live? Why should I do anything? Is there in life any purpose which the inevitable death that awaits me does not undo and destroy?

Perhaps it's because I appreciate all I have so much that I don't worry about what I haven't got.

When you understand that you will die to-morrow, if not to-day, and nothing will be left, then everything is so unimportant!... So one goes on living, amusing oneself with hunting, with work - anything so as not think of death

You're not going to be different ... you're going to be the same as you've always been; with doubts, everlasting dissatisfaction with yourself, vain efforts to amend, and falls, and everlasting expectation, of a happiness which you won't get, and which isn't possible for you.

There is only one time that is important -- NOW! It is the most important time because it is the only time hat we have any power.

I don’t count life as life without love
