Ashley Montagu
Stand still, close your eyes and listen in the silence you can hear the cries of pain and low moans of anguish of animals waiting to die... do everything you can even if today it is just one small thing. There are no excuses for inaction, despair, egotism, or petulance that matter to the animals.
Ashley Montagu

Ashley Montagu
Man is the only 150 pound nonlinear servomechanism that can be wholly reproduced by unskilled labor.
Ashley Montagu
The family unit is the institution for the systematic production of mental illness.
Ashley Montagu
The basic fact is simple: life begins not at birth, but conception.
Ashley Montagu
The idea of race represents one of the most dangerous myths of our time.
Ashley Montagu
The doctor has been taught to be interested not in health but in disease. What the public is taught is that health is the cure for disease.
Ashley Montagu
Do we have the right to rear animals in order to kill them so that we may feed appetites in which we have been artificially conditioned from childhood?
Ashley Montagu
