Peter Singer


“Lay off with the ‘You reason, so you don’t feel’ stuff, please. I feel, but I also think about what I feel. When people say we should only feel [I] am reminded of Göring, who said ‘I think with my blood.’ See where it led him.”

Peter Singer, ‘Reflections’, in J. M. Coetzee, The Lives of Animals (1999), p. 89
