The top 10 most inspiring quotes by River Phoenix
- We’re all worth it, man. We’re all worth millions of planets and stars and galaxies and universes.
- Although I can’t stop all cruelty to living creatures on the planet, I can be kinder to every living creature in my life.
- I’ve learned that if you can’t get it all together to accomplish this thing called peace, you do at least your part in your life, because that’s where you can truly make an immediate difference.
- Sometimes I wish I wasn’t as conscious as I am. It would be so much easier.
- We take these animals and completely violate who they are. We use them, abuse them, and deprive them all their lives…then we cut their throats, shred them and eat them! Morally, I’m against it, ethically, I can’t justify it, and ecologically, it’s just insane. The thought of meat-eating makes me shudder. As far as wearing fur is concerned, it is the rudest, most inconsiderate, selfish and sick façade I can imagine.
- It still strikes me as strange that anyone could have any moral objection to someone else’s sexuality. It’s like telling someone else how to clean their house.
- Animals are not our playthings. We are on this earth to protect them. It’s our duty.
- I don’t want to get so lost in thinking about me and talking about me all the time in interviews. It’s so nice to unwind and just look at other things and get out of yourself. It’s hard to detach myself from myself without neglecting myself. You know what I mean? I don’t want to get in to the habit of thinking about my career because when it comes down to it, it’s not really that important. I could die tomorrow and the world would go on.
- What I have got from my childhood aren’t toys, but memories. And happy memories are better than any toy.
- We are taught to consume. And that’s what we do. But if we realized that there really is no reason to consume, that it’s just a mind set, that it’s just an addiction, then we wouldn’t be out there stepping on people’s hands climbing the corporate ladder of success.
