Percy Grainger: Zitate auf Englisch

“All my life, I have been sickened by everything connected with meat-, fish-, and poultry eating. As a child, I saw apparently nice, kind people wring the necks of fowls, and I thought it foul; and I wondered if I could ever exert any influence to help bring such unworthiness to an end.”

“How I Became a Meat-Shunner,” in American Vegetarian, Vol. V no. 4, Dec. 1946, p. 4; quoted in Vegetarianism in Australia - 1788 to 1948: A Cultural and Social History by Edgar Crook (Huntingdon Press, 2006), p. 78 https://books.google.it/books?id=weyfYBz_INYC&pg=PA78.

“I do not eat meat, I do not smoke, and I do not drink, and therefore, I do not feel the cold.”

Asked why he was wearing few clothes in the middle of winter.
