“Politics is ours: never let someone who doesn't sound like you, who wouldn't dream of going to the same school as you, who thinks they can just throw you a slogan without ever actually planning on delivering it make you feel as if politics is for someone else. It's ours and it only gets better when we make it better.”

“Od samego początku, gdy tylko partia zagarnęła władzę nad Polską, Gomułka szukał swojej drogi. Właśnie samo poszukiwanie najbardziej odróżniało go od myślącej jak wspólna masa reszty towarzyszy. Przez pomyłkę można by nawet pomyśleć, że Gomułka był demokratą. Nic jednak bardziej błędnego. Był komunistą. Bezgranicznie przekonanym do swojej idei. Z natury dobrym człowiekiem, który uważa, że wie lepiej od innych, co dla nich dobre.”

“The world’s most celebrated religions teach people that the world around us, our environment, is sacred. A diet rooted in anymal products is exponentially more harmful to the earth than is a plant-based diet. Seventy percent more land must be cultivated in order to raise anymals for food than would be necessary for a vegan diet. This means that 70 percent more land is taken away from natural ecosystems to produce flesh, nursing milk, and bird’s reproductive eggs for consumption, and this land that is necessary for a diet rich in anymal products will be sprayed with pesticides and earth-damaging fertilizers. These additional crops—70 percent more—also need to be irrigated, using exponentially more water. Anymals exploited by food industries also drink millions of gallons of water and drop millions of tons of manure. Finally, raising animals for flesh contributes significantly to carbon dioxide, nitrous oxides, chlorofluorocarbons, and methane—global climate change.”
