Brigid Brophy Quotes

Whenever people say, ‘We mustn’t be sentimental,’ you can take it they are about to do something cruel. And if they add, ‘We must be realistic,’ they mean they are going to make money out of it Picture Quote #1

I don’t myself believe that, even when we fulfill our minimum obligations not to cause pain, we have the right to kill animals. I know I would not have the right to kill you, however painlessly, just because I liked your flavour, and I am not in a position to judge that your life is worth more to you than the animal’s to it Picture Quote #1

The person who kills for fun is announcing that, could he get away with it, he’d kill you for fun. Your... life may be of no consequence to anyone else but is invaluable to you because it’s the only one you’ve got. Exactly the same is true of each individual deer, hare, rabbit, fox, fish, pheasant and butterfly. Humans should enjoy their own lives, not taking others’ Picture Quote #1

The fact that there are bigger injustices and wrongs doesn’t make it right to sacrifice an innocent monkey. It doesn’t alter the case at all Picture Quote #1

A medical profession founded on callousness to the pain of the other animals may eventually destroy its own sensibility to the pain of humans Picture Quote #1

I refuse absolutely to consign the whole male sex to the nursery.... I obdurately insist on believing that some men are my equals Picture Quote #1
