"If your love is true love, it will benefit not only humans, but also animals, plants, and minerals. When you love one person, it’s an opportunity for you to love everyone, all beings. Then you are going in a good direction, and that is true love.

"Cultivating the four elements of true love—loving-kindness, compassion, joy, and equanimity—is the secret to nourishing deep and healthy relationships. When you practice with these elements regularly, you can handle the difficulties in your relationships and transform the suffering you feel inside. You become like a Buddha. You love everyone and every species." - Thich Nhat Hanh

"The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated." - M. Gandhi

"If you don't have a seat at the table, you're probably on the menu." - Elizabeth Warren

Let's give every being a voice.

May all beings, without exception, be happy and free.
