Favorite John Robbins Quotes

1. "Few of us are aware that the act of eating can be a powerful statement of commitment to our own well-being, and at the same time the creation of a healthier habitat. Your health, happiness, and the future of life on earth are rarely so much in your own hands as when you sit down to eat." ~ John Robbins
2. "Your life does matter. It always matters whether you reach out in friendship or lash out in anger. It always matters whether you live with compassion and awareness or whether you succumb to distractions and trivia. It always matters how you treat other people, how you treat animals, and how you treat yourself. It always matters what you do. It always matters what you say. And it always matters what you eat." ~ John Robbins
3. "Animals do not ‘give' their life to us, as the sugar-coated lie would have it. No, we take their lives. They struggle and fight to the last breath, just as we would do if we were in their place." ~ John Robbins
4. "The joy is that we can take back our bodies, reclaim our health, and restore ourselves to balance. We can take power over what and how we eat.

Someone who gives - - adds beauty to the lives of others, in some way?" John Robbins - author of 'The Good Life" ~ John Robbins
