It wasn't government that gave us a system in which the gap between what we spend and what we get is so enormous. It was the free market.”

“... man was not born a carnivorous animal, but born to live on the fruits and herbs that the earth grows. I know we must all err. I would give up milk if I could, but I cannot. I have made that experiment times without number. I could not, after a serious illness, regain my strength, unless I went back to milk. That has been the tragedy of my life. But the basis of my vegetarianism is not physical, but moral. If anybody said that I should die if I did not take beef tea or mutton, even on medical advice, I would prefer death. That is the basis of my vegetarianism.”

Then a parent, friend or child dies or he gets a serious illness or is involved in a car accident.

During such a window of vulnerability, religion can commandeer a person's brain.”
