Quote #6 on Ecological Struggle Quotes >> Animal Rights and Diet
“...reform of diet is an indispensable branch of social organization, and that it is idle to talk of recognizing "rights of animals" so long as we unconcernedly eat them. Vegetarianism is no more and no less than an essential part in the highly complex engine which is to shape the fabric of a new social structure, an engine which will not work if a single screw be missing. The part without the whole is undeniably powerless; but so also, as it happens, is the whole without the part.”
