If man limits himself to a satisfied animal existence, and asks from life only what such an existence can give, the higher values of life at once disappear.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Life is essentially a question of values.
The ultimate value of life depends upon awareness and the power of contemplation rather than upon mere survival.
If we truly value humanity, life, and all that it represents in its highest form, then we need to do all that we can to promote quality of life over the quantity of life.
Do you know the only value life has is what life puts on itself?
All lives have an equal value.
Someone has to die in order that the rest of us should value life more.
One's life has value so long as one attributes value to the life of others, by means of love, friendship, indignation and compassion.
Every true man, sir, who is a little above the level of the beasts and plants does not live for the sake of living, without knowing how to live; but he lives so as to give a meaning and a value of his own to life.
A man can live and be healthy without killing animals for food; therefore, if he eats meat, he participates in taking animal life merely for the sake of his appetite.
Man is the only animal whose desires increase as they are fed; the only animal that is never satisfied.
