Truly man is the king of beasts, for his brutality exceeds theirs. We live by the death of others: We are burial places! Leonardo da Vinci

While viewing a fish in an aquarium, Kafka said, "Now I can look at you in peace; I don`t eat you any more."

On being asked why he was a vegetarian:
Oh, come! That boot is on the other leg. Why should you call me to account for eating decently? If I battened on the scorched corpses of animals, you might well ask me why I did that. - George Bernard Shaw

Atrocities are not less atrocities when they occur in laboratories and are called medical research.

When a man wants to murder a tiger, it's called sport; when the tiger wants to murder him it's called ferocity.

Tree At My Window

Robert Frost

Tree at my window, window tree,
My sash is lowered when night comes on;
But let there never be curtain drawn
Between you and me.

Vague dream head lifted out of the ground,
And thing next most diffuse to cloud,
Not all your light tongues talking aloud
Could be profound.

But tree, I have seen you taken and tossed,
And if you have seen me when I slept,
You have seen me when I was taken and swept
And all but lost.

That day she put our heads together,
Fate had her imagination about her,
Your head so much concerned with outer,
Mine with inner, weather.
