1. "If having a soul means being able to feel love and loyalty and gratitude, then animals are better off than a lot of humans."―James Herriot

2. "Until one has loved an animal, a part of one's soul remains unawakened." ― Anatole France

3. "You think those dogs will not be in heaven! I tell you they will be there long before any of us." ― Robert Louis Stevenson

4. "We patronize the animals for their incompleteness, for their tragic fate of having taken form so far below ourselves. And therein we err, and greatly err. For the animal shall not be measured by man. In a world older and more complete than ours, they are more finished and complete, gifted with extensions of the senses we have lost or never attained, living by voices we shall never hear. They are not brethren, they are not underlings; they are other Nations, caught with ourselves in the net of life and time, fellow prisoners of the splendour and travail of the earth." ― Henry Beston
