"We must never allow the voice of humanity within us to be silenced. It is humanity's sympathy with all creatures that first makes us truly human."

To me, a philosopher who says that the distinction between human and nonhuman depends on whether you have a white or a black skin, and a philosopher who says that the distinction between human and nonhuman depends on whether or not you know the difference between a subject and a predicate, are more alike than they are unlike.
