Each of us decides, over the course of our daily lives, whether we will ignore the suffering of nonhuman animals . . . . We choose where our money goes, and in the process, we choose whether to boycott cruelty and support change, or melt ambiguously back into the masses.”

“Opróżniam popielniczki, myję kieliszki, wyrzucam puste butelki, krótko mówiąc, gdy w końcu idę się odlać, mieszkanie jest na błysk. Ale podczas gdy sikam, wspomnienie niedopałków w kieliszkach i zeschniętych skórek sera wywraca mi flaki. Wkładam palce głęboko do gardła, żeby i moje ciało mogło wyrzucić wszystkie te świństwa, które w nim zalegają. Czasami skutkuje, lecz nie zawsze. Zdarza mi się spędzić dwie godziny z głową w sedesie, czekając, aż się zacznie. Zresztą, bardzo to lubię! Te wiejskie klimaty... Szmer wody spływającej nieustannie, odkąd zepsuła się spłuczka. W Paryżu brakuje nam kontaktu z przyrodą. Dlatego ludzie wydają fortuny na rośliny doniczkowe. A przecież natura to nie tylko chlorofil! To także strumyki, źródła, wodospady... Ja to wszystko mam w sraczyku i to za darmochę.”
