{"quotes":[{"text":"By saying that human issues are more important than non-human issues, that violence to humans is more relevant than violence to animals, one forgets that the animal liberation movement implies a message of peace for every being on earth and the opposition against the mindset of oppression. To make a distinction between one violence and another is exactly the root of all violence: Some wouldn't do any harm to those who share with them a flag, a religion, a language, etc. But would easily condemn to suffering and death those who are different. This tragic use of diversity as an excuse to inflict pain on others for a matter of profit and convenience is the cause of suffering for both human and non-human animals.","author":"Mango Wodzak","tags":["animal-liberation","animal-rights","convenience","human-rights","opposition","oppression","peace","profit","religion","suffering"],"id":154,"author_id":"Mango+Wodzak"},{"text":"People who always want to be at convenient places won’t make a change at controversial places.","author":"Israelmore Ayivor","tags":["change","change-maker","controversial","controversy","convenience","convenient","critical","food-for-thought","high-places","israelmore-ayivor","leaders","leadership","make-a-change","martin-luther","martin-luther-king","martin-luther-king-jr","strength","strong"],"id":9253,"author_id":"Israelmore+Ayivor"},{"text":"Let us agree that we are marrying so we can go on quarreling in the greatest comfort and convenience.

By this rapid and vast multiplication of the commodities and conveniences of existence, the general standard of comfort has been raised, the ravages of pestilence and famine have been checked, and the natural obstacles, which time and space offer to mutual intercourse, have been reduced in a manner, and to an extent, unknown to former ages. The diminution or removal of local ignorance and prejudice, the creation of common interests among the most widely separated peoples, and the strengthening of the forces of the organisation of the commonwealth against those of political or social anarchy, thus effected, have exerted an influence on the present and future fortunes of mankind the full significance of which may be divined, but cannot, as yet, be estimated at its full value.","author":"Thomas Henry Huxley","tags":["anarchy","civilization","comfort","convenience","development","famine","forces","fortune","future","history","ignorance","improvement","increase","influence","intercommunication","invention","locomotion","machinery","mankind","obstacles","pestilence","prejudice","production","science","significance","value"],"id":79030,"author_id":"Thomas+Henry+Huxley"},{"text":"We do not believe in murder!

On the contrary, teachings can be either taken or dismissed; whereas voting is the only thing the average person can do to force everyone to live how they would prefer. A simple vote is among the largest yet most acceptable forms of bigotry, and that is because people play the card only when they feel that in doing so it conveniences themselves.","author":"Criss Jami","tags":["apologetics","belief","bigotry","convenience","convictions","evangelists","hypocrisy","hypocrites","philosophers","philosophy","politics","pride","selfishness","teachings","theologians","voting"],"id":129032,"author_id":"Criss+Jami"},{"text":"Good luck' is like the shadow of a tree, for some time it gives comfort to a traveler but it doesn't go ahead with a traveler.","author":"Amit Kalantri","tags":["amit-kalantri","amit-kalantri","amit-kalantri-writer","best-luck","comfort","convenience","fate","good-luck","inspiration","inspirational","inspirational","journey","luck","lucky","motivation","motivational","motivational","philosophy","reflection","shadow","shadow-of-a-tree","travel","traveler","traveller","voyage","voyager","wisdom"],"id":153973,"author_id":"Amit+Kalantri"},{"text":"A sacrifice is not convenient.
