The killing which is done through the careless activity of mind, speech and body is violence.
Tattvartha Sutra of Umaswati
It is good to maintain and encourage life, it is bad to destroy life or obstruct it.
-
Albert Schweitzer
I still believe that man not having been given the power of creation, does not possess the right of destroying the meanest creature that lives. The prerogative of destruction belongs solely to the creator of all that lives.
M. K. Gandhi
Would the system established by ancestors hold true to examination? In case it does not, I am not here to justify it for the sake of saving the traditional grace of the dead, irrespective of the wrath I may have to face.
