Vegetarianism is a way of life that we should all move toward for economic survival, physical well-being and spiritual integrity.

— Thomas Berry

We … wish especially to outline the conditions for entering a future that will lead to the larger fulfillment for which the entire planet, as well as ourselves, seems to be destined. The first condition for achieving this objective is to realize that the universe is a communion of subjects, not a collection of objects.

— Thomas Berry

The universe is composed of subjects to be communed with, not primarily of objects to be used. As a subject, each component of the universe is capable of having rights.
