"Until one has loved an animal, a part of one's soul remains unawakened."
"I am in favor of animal rights as well as human rights. That is the way of a whole human being."
"If having a soul means being able to feel love and loyalty and gratitude, then animals are better off than a lot of humans."
"Such short little lives our pets have to spend with us, and they spend most of it waiting for us to come home each day. It is amazing how much love and laughter they bring into our lives and even how much closer we become with each other because of them."
