“The quiet conscience is an invention of the devil.”
“Those who experiment on animals should never be able to quiet their own conscience by telling themselves that these cruelties have a worthy aim.”
“We cannot abdicate our conscience to an organization, nor to a government.”
“The quiet conscience is the invention of the devil. No one of us may permit any preventable pain to be inflicted even though the responsibility for that pain is not ours. No one may shut his eyes and think that the pain which is therefore not visible, is non-existent.”
