Romain Rolland
(1866 - 1944)
French author, Prof. of Art History, quote from Jean-Christophe, Nobel
prize 1915.
"To a
man whose mind is free there is something even more intolerable in the
sufferings of animals than in the sufferings of man. For with the latter
it is at least admitted that suffering is evil and that the man who
causes it is a criminal. But thousands of animals are uselessly
butchered every day without a shadow of remorse. If any man were to
refer to it, he would be thought ridiculous. And that is the
unpardonable crime. That alone is the justification of all that humans
may suffer. It cries vengeance upon all the human race. If God exists
and tolerates it, it cries vengeance upon God."
