Ken Chau is the owner of the Sun Bo Kong vegetarian Chinese restaurant in Vancouver, BC. This is one of my favorite Chinese restaurants in the world! (yes my Indian friends, it is better than “Indian Chinese”).
Ken has quotes from famous vegetarians on the wall of his restaurant.
Quotes from the web:

“One farmer says to me, “You cannot live on vegetable food solely, for it furnishes nothing to make the bones with;” and so he religiously devotes a part of his day to supplying himself with the raw material of bones; walking all the while he talks behind his oxen, which, with vegetable-made bones, jerk him and his lumbering plow along in spite of every obstacle.” » Henry David Thoreau
“People often say that humans have always eaten animals, as if this is a justification for continuing the practice. According to this logic, we should not try to prevent people from murdering other people, since this has also been done since the earliest of times.” » Isaac Bashevis Singer
“We consume the carcasses of creatures of like appetites, passions and organs as our own, and fill the slaughterhouses daily with screams of pain and fear.” » Robert Louis Stevenson
“If you knew how meat was made, you’d probably lose your lunch.” » k.d. lang
“Those who, by their purchases, require animals to be killed have no right to be shielded from the slaughterhouse or any other aspect of the production of the meat they buy. If it is distasteful for humans to think about, what can it be like for the animals to experience it?.” » Peter Singer
“The beef industry has contributed to more American deaths than all the wars of this century, all natural disasters, and all automobile accidents combined. If beef is your idea of “real food for real people” you’d better live real close to a real good hospital.” » Neal Barnard
“Man is the only animal that can remain on friendly terms with the victims he intends to eat until he eats them.” » Samuel Butler
“I have since an early age abjured the use of meat, and the time will come when men such as I will look upon the murder of animals as they now look upon the murder of men.” » Leonardo da Vinci
“You have just dined, and however scrupulously the slaughterhouse is concealed in the graceful distance of miles, there is complicity.” Ralph Waldo Emerson
