• How should we relate to beings who look into
  mirrors and see themselves as individuals, who
  mourn companions and may die of grief, who have a
  consciousness of 'self?' Don't they deserve to be
  treated with the same sort of consideration we
  accord to other highly sensitive beings
  ourselves?
• Should animals be considered equivalents of
  humans because of qualities that are similar to
  humans? All animals?

More Quotes

  compromise is all right, as long your values
  don't change.
• We can't leave people in abject poverty, so we
