People who want to rise above a well-cooked meal and a well-tailored garment, are out of their spiritual minds.

Those who still eat flesh when they could do otherwise have no claim to be serious moralists.

Lean, hungry, savage anti-everythings.

Hungry men have no respect for law, authority or human life.

Life is no way to treat an animal.

Nowadays, in the new world, it is suicide to be weak.

Weak persons cannot be sincere.

Human beings have neither kindness, nor faith, nor charity beyond what serves to increase the pleasure of the moment.

That age produced a sort of men, in force of hand, and swiftness of foot, and strength of body, excelling the ordinary rate, and wholly incapable of fatigue; making use, however, of these gifts of nature to no good or profitable purpose for mankind, but rejoicing and priding themselves in insolence, and taking the benefit of their superior strength in the exercise of inhumanity and cruelty, and in seizing, forcing, and committing all manner of outrages upon everything that fell into their hands; all respect for others, all justice, they thought, all equity and humanity, though naturally lauded by common people, either out of want of courage to commit injuries or fear to receive them, yet no way concerned those who were strong enough to win for themselves.

Life is made for the strong. There is no mercy in it for the weak– none...Such is the tragedy of desire.

People will not respect even a distinguished "man of knowledge" who has a humble attitude toward other people but has no humility in eating.

Eating meat is primitive, barbaric, and arrogant.

The weak are cruel. The strong have no need to be.

Thieves and fighters do not come from eaters of barley-bread; but informers and tyrants come from meat-eaters.
