I could not define how I entered into the struggle. Probably like a man who, walking the street, with his preoccupations, his needs and his own thoughts, surprised by the fire which is consuming a house, takes off his jacket and rushes to give help to those who are the prey of flames. With the common sense of a young man of twenty or so, this is the only thing I understood in all I was seeing : that we were losing the Fatherland, that we would no longer have the Fatherland, that, with the unwitting support of the miserable, impoverished and exploited Romanian workers, the Jewish horde would sweep us away. (Corneliu Zelea Codreanu)

Simonson, in rubber jacket and similar galoshes, bound with whip-cord over woolen socks (he was a vegetarian and did not use the skin of animals), was also awaiting the departure of the party. He stood near the entrance of the house, writing down in a note-book a thought that occurred to him. "If,” he wrote, "a bacterium were to observe and analyze the nail of a man, it would declare him an inorganic being. Similarly, from an observation of the earth's surface, we declare it to be inorganic. That is wrong.”. View quote

I don't think a living being should suffer for the sake of fashion, period. End of story. When I realized what went into-not just, we're not just even talking about a full-length fur coat, I'm talking about just ... fur on your gloves or on your jacket or-what goes into making that little piece of fur ripped my heart out.

When it is storming and raining, thundering and lightening I am in my element; nature must be seen in action. Then outside, I put on my jacket, put my feet in clogs, put on a hat and start on a march. When the showers settle down, with charcoal or black chalk [I] make a scribble, to keep a firm grip on what one sees. When working out, hue and color come smoothly back into the memory. View quote

Each fur jacket and piece of fur trim is taken from a terrified living being who was trapped in the wild ... or who had a miserable life locked inside a barren wire cage before being drowned, electrocuted, poisoned, or skinned alive. ...
