Famous quotes by Peter Singer:

"This kind of visit is oversold; you would not have a shift in the public opinion. It's a one day story."

"The lack of numbers - missing on everything from how much we are spending to how many are being killed or wounded - is just stunning for this day and age."

"Britain has to decide whether it's trying to influence the individual or influence the environment that has allowed this radicalism to exist. The key to success is changing the environment to make radical Islam completely unacceptable. . . . It's not just draining the swamp. You have to poison the sea."

"It's going to be a shared set of values, a shared ethical framework that's going to be the glue that will hold together societies struggling with enormously difficult choices."

"the traditional view of the sanctity of human life will collapse under pressure from scientific, technological and demographic developments."

"A shared set of ethical values is the glue that can hold us together during an intense crisis. A key lesson from the SARS outbreak is that fairness becomes more important during a time of crisis and confusion. And the time to consider these questions and processes in relation to a threatened major pandemic is now."

"It's not going to be the individual ... technical (public health) decisions that are going to hold our society together in the face of an immense struggle with an influenza pandemic,"

"The notion that human life is sacred just because it is human life is medieval."

"All the arguments to prove man's superiority cannot shatter this hard fact: in suffering the animals are our equals."

"An animal experiment cannot be justifiable unless the experiment is so important that the use of a brain-damaged human would be justifiable."

"Animals, or at least those who are conscious and capable of suffering or enjoying their lives, are not things for us to use in whatever way we find convenient."

"I think ethics is always there; it's not always a very thoughtful or reflective ethics."

"What you could say, and what I do argue in the book, is that he doesn't have as much concern for the lives of Iraqis as he does for the lives of Americans, or even frozen American embryos."

"The belief that the animals exist because God created them - and that he created them so we can better meet our needs - is contrary to our scientific understanding of evolution and, of course, to the fossil record, which shows the existence of non-human primates and other animals millions of years before there were any human beings at all."

"We should aim for our children to be good people, and to live ethical lives that manifest concern for others as well as for themselves."

"The hope of Internet anarchists was that repressive governments would have only two options: accept the Internet with its limitless possibilities of spreading information, or restrict Internet access to the ruling elite and turn your back on the 21st century, as North Korea has done."

"I'm not overly alarmist about it, but I do think there are some worrying signs, like the growing accumulation of wealth by a very small proportion of the population, plus elections in the US are much more dominated by money than anywhere else calling itself a democracy."

"I don't think nationalism is alone holding the field; it's in contention with a lot of different things."

"Knowing that we can control our own behaviour makes it more likely that we will."

"Privacy about giving is counterproductive. There is solid scientific research showing that people are more likely to give if they can see that others are giving. The richest people, in particular, should be setting an example."
