Quote by M.L. Stedman

“There are still more days to travel in this life. And he knows that the man who makes the journey has been shaped by every day and every person along the way. Scars are just another kind of memory. Isabel is part of him, wherever she is, just like the war and the light and the ocean. Soon enough the days will close over their lives, the grass will grow over their graves, until their story is just an unvisited headstone. He watches the ocean surrender to the night, knowing that the light will reappear.”

“In addition to the moral aspect, the production and consumption of animal meat is inefficient from a systems design perspective — It's extremely wasteful.

This would also cultivate the greatest business opportunities.”

“Rather than struggling to be a 'perfect' vegan—freaking out if you accidentally ingest an animal ingredient you hadn’t heard of before—adopt the 'practice makes progress' approach. Keep trying new recipes and share them with friends and family. Do all you can to avoid animal byproducts, but don’t beat yourself up if you eat something by mistake.”

“For an ethical vegan it doesn't matter when we started eating meat and for how long, as animal exploitation is not avoided because this is the 'natural' thing to do, but the 'moral' thing to do. However, human biology helps vegans to thrive, rather than hinders them, which explains all the health benefits reported when people switch to a vegan diet.”
