A child raised on a desert island, alone, without social interaction, without language, and thus lacking empathy, is still a sentient being Picture Quote #1

I believe that intelligence and rationality will always be primary no matter what shape sentient creatures take. To not think that would be to doubt the value of life itself Picture Quote #1

We are responsible for the world in which we find ourselves, if only because we are the only sentient force which can change it Picture Quote #1

We cannot justify treating any sentient nonhuman as our property, as a resource, as a thing that we an use and kill for our purposes Picture Quote #1

I believe we are the only sentient beings in the universe, and I believe that 500 years from now, we will still be the only sentient beings around Picture Quote #1

Whenever I visit a market and see the chickens crowded together in tiny cages that give them no room to move around and spread their wings and the fish slowly drowning in the air, my heart goes out to them. People have to learn to think about animals in a different way, as sentient beings who love life and fear death. I urge everyone who can to adopt a compassionate vegetarian diet Picture Quote #1

As you embrace the present and become one with it, and merge with it, you will experience a fire, a glow, a sparkle of ecstasy throbbing in every sentient being. As you begin to experience this exultation of spirit in everything that is alive, as you become intimate with it, joy will be born within you, and you will drop the terrible burdens of defensiveness, resentment, and hurtfulness... then you will become lighthearted, carefree, joyous, and free Picture Quote #1

At this stage you must admit that whatever is seen to be sentient is nevertheless composed of atoms that are insentient. The phenomena open to our observation so not contradict this conclusion or conflict with it. Rather they lead us by the hand and compel us to believe that the animate is born, as I maintain, of the insentient Picture Quote #1

We do not have to be ashamed of what we are. As sentient beings we have wonderful backgrounds. These backgrounds may not be particularly enlightened or peaceful or intelligent. Nevertheless, we have soil good enough to cultivate; we can plant anything in it Picture Quote #1

We should reflect on the idea that since the beginning of time sentient beings have been mentally unstable because they have been slaves of delusion, they lack the eye of wisdom to see the path leading to nirvana and enlightenment, and they lack the necessary guidance of a spiritual teacher. Moment by moment they are indulging in negative actions, which will eventually bring about their downfall Picture Quote #1

The really valuable thing in the pageant of human life seems to me not the political state, but the creative, sentient individual, the personality; it alone creates the noble and the sublime, while the herd as such remains dull in thought and dull in feeling Picture Quote #1

At some point just about all of us experience loneliness. In a sense, it is what it means to be a sentient animal, to have an experience of separation from others Picture Quote #1

Where there is a mind, there are feelings such as pain, pleasure, and joy. No sentient being wants pain: all wants happiness instead Picture Quote #1

It were much better that a sentient being should never have existed, than that it should have existed only to endure unmitigated misery Picture Quote #1

We should have a bond of sympathy for all sentient beings, knowing that only the depraved and base take pleasure in the sight of blood and suffering Picture Quote #1

Today is the first day of the rest of your short, brutish existence as a sentient creature before being snuffed out into utter nothingness for all eternity Picture Quote #1

When you open the door and invite in all sentient beings as your guests, you have to drop your agenda Picture Quote #1

We should be able to refuse to live if the price of living be the torture of sentient beings Picture Quote #1

For a long time, I felt instinctively irritated - sometimes repelled - by scientific friends’ automatic use of the word ‘mechanism’ for automatic bodily processes. A machine was man-made; it was not a sentient being; a man was not a machine Picture Quote #1

Just as compassion is the wish that all sentient beings be free of suffering, loving-kindness is the wish that all may enjoy happiness Picture Quote #1

From Graham Greene, I learnt how to be an accessible writer who grapples with our doubts as sentient individuals Picture Quote #1

Expectation loiters in the DNA of every sentient being; when you tell yourself or a loved one, ‘Don’t get your hopes up,’ you’re fighting ancient genetic programming Picture Quote #1

All breathing, existing, living, sentient creatures should not be slain, nor treated with violence, nor abused, nor tormented, nor driven away Picture Quote #1

Technology is the means by which we have decommissioned natural selection and are seizing control. We are no longer to be victims of some blind evolutionary process where sentient beings are massacred by entropy Picture Quote #1
