To a man whose mind is free there is something even more intolerable in the sufferings of animals than in the sufferings of man. For with the latter it is at least admitted that suffering is evil and that the man who causes it is a criminal. But thousands of animals are uselessly butchered every day without a shadow of remorse. If any man were to refer to it, he would be thought ridiculous. And that is the unpardonable crime.

Thousands of animals (now billions) are butchered every day without a shadow of remorse. It cries vengeance upon all the human race.

History furnishes to politics all the arguments that it needs, for the chosen cause.

Every race, every art has its hypocrisy. The world is fed with a little truth and many lies.

The greatest human ideal is the great cause of bringing together the thoughts of Europe and Asia; the great soul of India will topple our world.

The theatre, like the fresco, is art fitted to its place. And therefore it is above all else the human art, the living art.

To understand everything is to hate nothing.
