“For he lives twice who can at once employ,The present well, and e’en the past enjoy.”
“Thousands of people who say they love animals sit down once or twice a day to enjoy the flesh of creatures who have been utterly deprived of everything that could make their lives worth living and who endured the awful suffering and the terror of the abattoirs.”
“He who does not know the past can never understand the present, and he certainly can do nothing for the future.”
“It is always easy for those living in the present to feel superior to those who lived in the past.”
“Tibby, who was not fond of change, had once told Bridget that the present, no matter what it brought, couldn't change the past. The past was set and sealed.”
“Who enjoys life more? Well to start with, definitely the Living”
