Michael Harrington: “That the poor are invisible is one of the most important things about them. They are not simply neglected and forgotten as in the old rhetoric of reform; what is much worse, they are not seen.â€
Peter Singer: “An animal experiment cannot be justifiable unless the experiment is so important that the use of a brain-damaged human would be justifiable.â€
Jane Goodall: “And can I do that alone? No. So there is a whole army of youth that can do it. So I suppose my mission is to reach as many of those young people as I can through my own efforts.â€
Gene Sharp: "Strategic nonviolence is a "weapon system" that derives its force from fundamental human psychological, social, and political tendencies. Provided we adhere to nonviolent discipline, noncooperation, persistence, fearlessness, and openness, strategic nonviolence will doom our opponent to failure regardless of how they respond to our actions."
