Here are some inspirational vegan quotes, by famous people throughout the centuries, who tirelessly advocated veganism.
“Three times a day, I remind myself that I value life and do not want to cause pain or kill other living beings. That is why I eat the way I do.” – Natalie Portman
“It’s not hard to make decisions once you know what your values are.” – Roy E. Disney
“Animals are not products. Life doesn’t have a price.” – Anonymous
“I hold that the more helpless a creature, the more entitled it is to protection by man from the cruelty of man.” – Ghandi
“Could you look and animal in the eyes and say to it, ‘My appetite is more important than your suffering’?” – Moby
“Non-violence leads to the highest ethics, which is the goal of all evolution. Until we stop harming all other living beings, we are still savages.” – Thomas Edison
“When I see bacon, I see a pig, I see a little friend, and that’s why I can’t eat it. Simple as that.” – Paul McCartney
“If you don’t like pictures of animal cruelty being posted on social media, you need to help stop the cruelty, not the pictures. You should be bothered that it’s happening, not that you saw it.” – Marie Sarantakis
“The time will come when men such as I will look upon the murder of animals as they now look upon the murder of men.” – Leonardo Da Vinci
“To a man whose mind is free there is something even more intollerable 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.” – Romain Rolland (1866-1944)
“Years of cultural programming have taught us to love some animals while eating others, when in all reality, all animals are sentient beings with the capacity to feel, both physically and emotionally.” – Kat Von D
“There is no fundamental difference between man and animals in their ability to feel pleasure and pain, happiness and misery.” – Charles Darwin
“The soul is the same in all living creatures, although the body of each is different.” Hippocrates
“Veganism is not about giving anything up or losing anything; it is about gaining the peace within yourself that comes from embracing nonviolence and refusing to participate in the exploitation of the vulnerable.” Gary L. Francione
“Not to hurt our humble brethren is our first duty to them, but to stop there is not enough. We have a higher mission – to be of service to them whenever they require it.” – Francis of Assisi
“The thinking person must oppose all cruel customs no matter how deeply rooted in tradition and surrounded by a halo. When we have a choice, we must avoid bringing torment and injury into the life of another.” Albert Schweitzer
“Every time you drink a glass of milk or eat a piece of cheese, you harm a mother. Please go vegan.” Gary L. Francione
“I can’t think of anything that makes me happier than seeing an animal’s contentment, witnessing a creature allowed to be who he wants in the world – and at peace. It’s a thing of beauty.” – Jenny Brown
“A man can live and be healthy without killing animals for food; therefore, if he eats meat, he participates in taking animal life merely for the sake of his appetite. And to act so is immoral.” – Leo Tolstoy
“Every person I have met who has gone vegan says it’s the best decision they have ever made.” – Lewis Hamilton
And here’s my own personal vegan quote:
“It can be safely asserted that dogs and pigs are both highly intelligent, affectionate, sentient beings, so how can we love one and eat the other? Why do we love cats and torture and eat cows and chickens? The only difference between animals to love and animals to eat is our misguided perception of them. Make the connection and go vegan.” – Deborah Bolton
