“People care about animals. I believe that. They just don’t want to know or to pay. A fourth of all chickens have stress fractures. It’s wrong. They’re packed body to body, and can’t escape their waste, and never see the sun. Their nails grow around the bars of their cages. It’s wrong. They feel their slaughters. It’s wrong, and people know it’s wrong. They don’t have to be convinced. They just have to act differently. I’m not better than anyone, and I’m not trying to convince people to live by my standards of what’s right. I’m trying to convince them to live by their own.”

“I'm looking into my past lives. I'm convinced some of them still owe me money.”

“I'm not trying to find and attain some sense of righteousness in my lifestyle. I'm just trying to live right.”

“I'm convinced that no life is worth living if it is not lived for God's glory.”

“One of the regrets of my life is that I did not study Latin.
