La vera bontà dell'uomo si può manifestare in tutta purezza e libertà solo nei confronti di chi non rappresenta alcuna forza. Il vero esame morale dell'umanità, l'esame fondamentale (posto così in profondità da sfuggire al nostro sguardo) è il suo rapporto con coloro che sono alla sua mercé: gli animali.

~ Milan Kundera
Az igazi jóság csak olyasvalaki iránt nyivlánulhat meg kristáltisztán és szabadon, aki semmiféle erÅ't nem képvisel. Az emberiség legalapvetÅ'bb, igazi erkölcsi próbaköve, a viszonya azokhoz, akik ki vannak neki szolgáltatva: az állatokhoz.

~ Milan Kundera

Ja tässä ihminen on kärsinyt olennaisen perustappion josta kaikki muut tappiot johtuvat.
