We need to recognise that what really matters isnt buying more and more consumer goods, but family, friends, and knowing that we are doing something worthwhile with our lives. Helping to reduce the appalling consequences of world poverty should be part of that reassessment. – Peter Singer
When fish experience something that would cause other animals physical pain, they behave in ways suggestive of pain, and the change in behaviour may last several hours. – Peter Singer
We have a new generation of very rich people who want to do more with their money than buy a lot of expensive toys. They want to live meaningful lives. – Peter Singer

The cinema is not an art which films life: the cinema is something between art and life.

Literature and painting both exist as art from the very start; the cinema doesnt. – Jean-Luc Godard
