"We manage to swallow flesh only because we do not think of the cruel and
sinful thing that we do. Cruelty...is a fundamental sin, and admits of no
arguments or nice distinctions. If only we do not allow our heart to grow
callous, it protests against cruelty, is always clearly heard; and yet we
go on perpetrating cruelties easily, merrily, all of us - in fact, anyone
who does not join in is dubbed a crank." ~ Rabindranath Tagore
