"Imagine
that you are
creating a
fabric of human
destiny with
the object of
making men
happy in the
end, giving
them peace and
rest at last,
but that it was
essential and
inevitable to
torture to
death only one
tiny
creature... and
to found that
edifice on its
unavenged
tears, would
you consent to
be the
architect on
those
conditions?"
Feodor
Dostoevski

"Can you really
ask what reason
Pythagoras had
for abstaining
from flesh? For
my part I
rather wonder
both by what
accident and in
what state of
soul or mind
the first man
did so,
tozuched his
mouth to gore
and brought his
lips to the
flesh of a dead
creature, he
who set forth
tables of dead,
stale bodies
and ventured to
call food and
nourishment the
parts that had
a little before
bellowed and
cried, moved
and lived. How
could his eyes
endure the
slaughter when
throats were
slit and hides
flayed and
limbs torn from
limb? How could
his nose endure
the stench? How
was it that the
pollution did
not turn away
his taste,
which made
contact with
the sores of
others and
sucked juices
and serums from
mortal wounds?
... It is
certainly not
lions and
wolves that we
eat out of
self-defense;
on the
contrary, we
ignore these
and slaughter
harmless, tame
creatures
without stings
or teeth to
harm us,
creatures that,
I swear, Nature
appears to have
produced for
the sake of
their beauty
and grace. But
nothing abashed
us, not the
flower-like
like tinting of
the flesh, not
the
persuasiveness
of the
harmonious
voice, not the
cleanliness of
their habits or
the unusual
intelligence
that may be
found in the
poor wretches.
No, for the
sake of a
little flesh we
deprive them of
sun, of light,
of the duration
of life to
which they are
entitled by
birth and
being."
