21 " I believe the happiness we feel in relation to animals is immensely significant. I believe it is absolutely central to our physical, psychological, and spiritual well-being. "
― Linda Bender , Animal Wisdom: Learning from the Spiritual Lives of Animals
22 " I believe we have this idea that bad things ought to be prevented from happening. "
23 " What I discovered at six has continued to be true: in rescuing an animal, I rescue myself. This reciprocity between animals and humans is woven into the very fabric of creation. It is the ecology of Paradise. "
24 " The fewer plants and animals we are able to recognize as individuals—recognize well enough to name—the more alienated we have come to feel from ourselves, the Earth and God, the Source. "
25 " Change comes from dedicated, ordinary people, in the trenches, serving a cause greater than self. "
26 " The fact that we are eternal spiritual beings doesn’t detract from the importance of our temporary physical existence. On the contrary, it makes that existence all the more precious and remarkable. "
