Sanctity of life

I look upon all creatures equally; none are less dear to me and none more dear.
Bhagavad Gita 9.29

*

The Law is that which leads to welfare and salvation. It forms conduct and character distinguished by the sense of equality among all beings.
Somadeva,
Nitivakyamrita 1.1

*

The creatures that inhabit this earth be they human beings or animals are here to contribute, each in its own particular way, to the beauty and prosperity of the world.
The Dalai Lama XIV

*

An original is a creation motivated by desire. Any reproduction of an original is motivated be necessity. It is marvellous that we are the only species that creates gratuitous forms. To create is divine, to reproduce is human.
Man Ray

*

Each species is a masterpiece, a creation assembled with extreme care and genius.
Edward O Wilson
