Jean-Antoine Gleizes Frasi e Citazioni

“Così gli uomini continuano ad accusarsi di essere ingiusti, violenti, crudeli e sleali l'un l'altro, ma non accusano se stessi di tagliare le gole degli altri animali e di cibarsi delle loro membra lacerate; il che è, nondimeno, la causa prima di questa ingiustizia, violenza, crudeltà e slealtà.”

Jean-Antoine Gleizes: Frasi in inglese

But it is goodness which is the justice of man; and it is impossible, I repeat it, to be good towards one's fellow without being so towards other existences.”

“It is a specious but very false reason to allege that, since man has acquired this taste, he ought to be permitted to indulge it — in the first place because Nature has not given him cooked flesh, and because several ages must have rolled away before fire was used. … Nature, then, could have given man only raw or living flesh, and we know that it is repugnant to him over the whole extent of the earth.”
