"Of all the animals, man is the only one that is cruel. He is the only one that inflicts pain for the pleasure of doing it."
"It is just like man's vanity and impertinence to call an animal dumb because it is dumb to his dull perceptions."
"The fact that man knows right from wrong proves his intellectual superiority to the other creatures; but the fact that he can do wrong proves his moral inferiority to any creature that cannot."
"I am not interested to know whether experimentation produces results that are profitable to the human race or doesn't."
"The pain which it inflicts upon unconsenting animals is the basis of my enmity toward it, and it is to me sufficient justification of the enmity without looking further."
"In studying the traits and dispositions of the so-called lower animals, and contrasting them with man's, I find the result humiliating to me. "
"Anger is an acid that can do more harm to the vessel in which it is stored than to anything on which it is poured."
Mark Twain
