durian hunting in Hawaii, vegan quotes

A couple frutarian friends and I scored some amazing durian today.  The farm has MONTHON, CHANEE, D132, COBB.  We got to eat several lbs of COBB and MON...i finally got my Fresh Durian Fix, Full abundance.  The season should be going stronger in December.  
We pulled over in mango grove and ate our first durian, then we went to Pohiki beach and had a durian picnic and watched the surfers rip up the shoulder high waves.  
It feels great to be in company with some durian lovers and share our experience.  Hawaii has Quality King!

If you find that those around you do not understand your way of thinking, and if you feel that you are alone in your perspective, consider the positions of some of the greatest minds in history:
Albert Schweitzer:
“Our task must be to free ourselves… by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.”
Leonardo da Vinci:
“The time will come when men such as I will look upon the murder of animals as they now look on the murder of men.”
Mahatma Gandhi:
“The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated.”
Count Leo Tolstoy:
“As long as there are slaughterhouses, there will be battlefields.”
Socrates:
“The highest realms of thought are impossible to reach without first attaining an understanding of compassion.”
And remember… You are in good company.
