There is no question in my mind: reading Gandhi's autobiography changed my life.

The world is not going to change overnight, nor in my lifetime, nor in my grandchildren's lifetime. But it will change, if we change, not for a day or a year, but for a lifetime. Yes, it will change, if we change.

I would encourage them never to forget that they were not always vegans. The self-righteousness of the recently converted hurts, it does not help, other animals.

All great movements, it is written, go through three stages: ridicule, discussion, adoption. It is the realisation of this third stage, adoption, that requires our passion and our discipline, our hearts and our heads. The fate of animals is in our hands.

Once you become a vegan, the food of the world opens up to you.

If it were a retarded baby and a bright dog, I'd save the dog.

Make vegan friends! It's a tough row to hoe doing it alone.
