Food Sovereignty Movement

Famous quotes containing the words food, sovereignty and/or movement:

    “There is no instant of time when one creature is not being devoured by another. Over all these numerous races of animals man is placed, and his destructive hand spares nothing that lives. He kills to obtain food and he kills to clothe himself; he kills to adorn himself; he kills in order to attack and he kills to defend himself; he kills to instruct himself and he kills to amuse himself; he kills to kill. Proud and terrible king, he wants everything and nothing resists him.”
    —Joseph De Maistre (1753–1821)

    “I think he’ll be to Rome
    As is the osprey to the fish, who takes it
    By sovereignty of nature.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “...I lost myself in my work and never felt that marriage would give me the security I wanted. I thought that through the trade union movement we working women could get better conditions and security of mind.”
    —Mary Anderson (1872–1964)
