More From Albert Schweitzer

Well used are those cruelties (if it is permitted to speak well of evil) that are carried out in a single stroke, done out of necessity to protect oneself, and are not continued but are instead converted into the greatest possible benefits for the subjects. badly used are those cruelties which. although being few at the outset, grow with the passing time instead of disappearing. those who follow the first method can remedy their condition with god and with men; the others cannot possibly survive.

Humans — who enslave, castrate, experiment on, and fillet other animals — have had an understandable penchant for pretending animals do not feel pain. a sharp distinction between humans and 'animals' is essential if we are to bend them to our will, make them work for us, wear them, eat them — without any disquieting tinges of guilt or regret. it is unseemly of us, who often behave so unfeelingly toward other animals, to contend that only humans can suffer. the behavior of other animals renders such pretensions specious. they are just too much like us.

We owe them [animals] a decent life and a decent death, and their lives should be as low-stress as possible. that's my job. i wish animals could have more than just a low-stress life and a quick, painless death. i wish animals could have a good life, too, with something useful to do. people were animals, too, once, and when we turned into human beings we gave something up. being close to animals brings some of it back.

The most powerful prayer, one well-nigh omnipotent, and the worthiest work of all is the outcome of a quiet mind. the quieter it is the more powerful, the worthier, the deeper, the more telling and more perfect the prayer is. to the quiet mind all things are possible. what is a quiet mind? a quiet mind is one which nothing weighs on, nothing worries, which, free from ties and from all self-seeking, is wholly merged into the will of god and dead to its own.

The aims of these three groups are entirely irreconcilable. the aim of the high is to remain where they are. the aim of the middle is to change places with the high. the aim of the low, when they have an aim-for it is an abiding characteristic of the low that they are too much crushed by drudgery to be more than intermittently conscious of anything outside their daily lives -is to abolish all distinctions and create a society in which all men shall be equal.
