"Like the mind set that places men above women, whites above Blacks, and rich above poor, the mentality that places humans above nature is a dysfunctional delusion."
Petra K. Kelly
"For centuries poets, some poets, have tried to give a voice to the animals, and readers, some readers, have felt empathy and sorrow. If animals did have voices, and they could speak with the tongues of angels - at the very least with the tongues of angels - they would be unable to save themselves from us. What good would language do? Their mysterious otherness has not saved them, nor have their beautiful songs and coats and skins and shells and eyes."
Joy Williams
