Read These Vegan Quotes Before You Say “It’s Just a Burger” Again

Sometimes all it takes to spark change is a few powerful words.


A sentence that hits you in the chest. A truth you can’t unhear.


That’s the magic of vegan quotes — they cut through noise and reach straight for empathy. Whether you’re vegan, vegan-curious, or just reflecting on your impact, these words from activists, comedians, and thinkers might just change how you see the world.


We’ve gathered a mix of inspiring, funny, and deeply thought-provoking quotes that’ll make you feel, think, and maybe even share.

Vegan Quotes That’ll Make You Rethink Everything

“Animals don’t have a voice, but I do. A loud one. A big mouth. My voice is for them. And I’ll never shut up while they suffer.”

Ricky Gervais

Passion meets purpose. Ricky Gervais doesn’t mince words when it comes to using his platform for animal rights. It’s a reminder that silence helps no one — especially those who can’t speak for themselves.

“You can’t do anything violent humanely.”

James Wildman

Short. Sharp. This quote forces us to confront the contradiction in phrases like “humane slaughter.”

“The world is a dangerous place, not because of those who do evil, but because of those who look on and do nothing.”

Albert Einstein

Einstein’s words echo beyond his time. They apply to all forms of injustice — including how we treat animals. The choice to act (or not) matters.

“Violence is central to patriarchy, and the forms of systemic violence are interconnected in Western societies. Recognizing similarities across forms of oppression (such as racism, child abuse, speciesism, and sexism, for example) is essential.”

Lisa Kemmerer, Sister Species: Women, Animals and Social Justice

Lisa Kemmerer reminds us that compassion is not a single-issue cause. All systems of oppression share roots in domination and disconnection. When we work toward justice, every act of kindness ripples outward.

“Oppressions are by definition linked — linked by common ideologies, by institutional forces, and by socialization that makes oppressions normative and invisible.”

Lisa Kemmerer, Sister Species: Women, Animals and Social Justice

A powerful academic insight, and an invitation to look deeper. Veganism isn’t just about diet — it’s about unlearning harmful norms.

😂 Funny Vegan Quotes That Still Make a Point

“The only animals I eat are crackers.”

Anonymous

Cheeky, quick, and perfectly caption-ready. Humor can break down defensiveness faster than debate ever will.

“If you think eating vegan is hard, imagine being a cow.”

Unknown

Mic drop. The perfect one-liner for anyone who claims veganism is “too difficult.”

“Kale yeah, I’m vegan.”

Every vegan ever (probably)

A reminder that plant-based living doesn’t have to be serious all the time. It can be fun, flavorful, and full of personality — just like your snack stash.

Which one of those resonated most with you?

🌎 Why These Quotes Matter


Veganism isn’t about moral superiority; it’s about empathy in action. Each quote above invites us to pause and ask why we make the choices we do — and how they affect others, human and non-human alike.


Sometimes, a single sentence can plant the seed for massive change. Maybe it inspires someone to try Meatless Mondays. Maybe it helps a friend see animals as individuals, not ingredients. Maybe it just makes someone think — and that’s enough.


As Lisa Kemmerer’s work shows, compassion connects across causes. When we recognize patterns of harm — whether it’s racism, sexism, or speciesism — we move closer to a world that values life equally.
