Quotes
- “All my life, I have been sickened by everything connected with meat-, fish-, and poultry eating. As a child, I saw apparently nice, kind people wring the necks of fowls, and I thought it foul; and I wondered if I could ever exert any influence to help bring such unworthiness to an end.”
- “I do not eat meat, I do not smoke, and I do not drink, and therefore, I do not feel the cold.”
