“My mother was convinced, and on this head I have retained her firm belief, that to kill animals for the purpose of feeding on their flesh is one of the most deplorable and shameful infirmities of the human state; that it is one of those curses cast upon man either by his fall, or by the obduracy of his own perversity.” MenHumansStatesMotherPurposeFallBeliefAnimalCastsConvincedFleshFirmCurseFeedingVegetarianismShamefulInfirmityPerversityFirm Beliefs Author:Alphonse de Lamartine
“I'm convinced that most men don't know what they believe, rather, they only know what they wish to believe.

“I think mothers and daughters are meant to give birth to each other, over and over; that is why our challenges to each other are so fierce; that is why, when love and trust have not been too badly blemished or destroyed, the teaching and learning one from the other is so indelible and bittersweet. We daughters must risk losing the only love we instinctively feel we can't live without in order to be who we are, and I am convinced this sends a message to our mothers to break their own chains, though they may be anchored in prehistory and attached to their own great grandmothers' hearts.” ThinkingGivingFeelsHeartMayMotherOrderChallengesBreakRiskTeachingBirthMessagesLosingDaughterConvincedDestroyedChainsWho We AreGrandmotherFierceOnly LoveBittersweetMother And DaughterTeaching And LearningLove And TrustIndelibleGreat GrandmotherPrehistory Author:Alice Walker
