Animals are my friends and I don’t eat my friends.

I always befriended animals and have said many a good word for them. Even to the least-loved mosquitoes I gave many a meal, and told them to go in peace.

The kindness lavished on dogs, if evenly distributed, would establish peace on earth.

Read nature; nature is a friend to truth.

be kind to animals and birds, and read all you can.

If you can spend a little time with these creatures, you can connect them again to animals that you love, which I think helps everybody remember the importance of treating them humanely and with dignity. These are, you know, the lucky animals that have fallen off the backs of trucks and stuff. If you want to help the environment, go vegetarian.

As a promoter of vegetarianism, I think it’s important to realise that we don’t own this planet, we’re co-existing with animals and so we need to have compassion for every co-member of the planet. We should be kind to plants as well.

These are beneficial creatures, and should be celebrated, not persecuted and poisoned in some misguided psychotic urge to kill anything that dares to thrive.

Of all wild beasts preserve me from a tyrant; and of all tame, a flatterer.

Be respectful of the small insects, birds and animal people who accompany you.
Ask their forgiveness for the harm we humans have brought down upon them.

The Mollusks — generous hosts when they weren’t trying to kill you.

I like to help the whales, the otters, and the dolphins. When I`m acting and I take a break, the first thing on my list is spending time by the sea.

I think of people more kindly when I am away from them.

A human intimacy — free from the earth but blessing the earth.
