A man of my spiritual intensity does not eat corpses. - George Bernard Shaw
Attribution: George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950), Anglo-Irish playwright, critic. Quoted in Hesketh Pearson, Bernard Shaw: His Life and Personality, ch. 9 (1942). Shaw, Pearson reported, believed vegetarians had radically different experiences from meat-eaters: “The odd thing about being a vegetarian is, not that the things that happen to other people don’t happen to me—they all do—but that they happen differently: pain is different, pleasure different, fever different, cold different, even love different.”
