He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings, as something separate from the rest - a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness.

Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty. Nobody is able to achieve this completely, but the striving for such achievement is in itself a part of the liberation and a foundation for inner security.”

“Vegetarianism isn't about fanatical personal purity, it's about having some perspective. Move at your own pace; no one's keeping score. Vegetarianism isn't about scarcity, it's about abundance.

For me going vegetarian is less about becoming something and more about being true to ourselves.”
