Lisa Kemmerer
“Most people are raised with the belief that anymal exploitation is religiously sanctioned, and they will readily defend this point of view. Consequently, arguments in favor of anymal exploitation—including religious arguments—are easy to come by. . . , but such arguments tend to be both shallow and specific, contradicting core and foundational teachings. Those who pose such arguments, when questioned, often agree readily that their religion does not teach or tolerate cruel exploitation, particularly when such cruel exploitation is entirely unnecessary.”
Lisa Kemmerer, Animals and World Religions

Jules Cashford
“Es posible que los términos [«femenino» y «masculino»] se comprendan mejor como diferentes modos de consciencia, o maneras diferentes de experimentar y expresar la vida en cualquier momento, al alcance de cualquier ser humano de cualquier género.”
Jules Cashford, The Myth of the Goddess: Evolution of an Image
