Carnivore Quote by David Levithan
““Are you a vegetarian?” I ask, based on the evidence in front of me. She nods. “Why?” “Because I have this theory that when we die, every animal that we’ve eaten has a chance at eating us back. So if you’re a carnivore and you add up all the animals you’ve eaten—well, that’s a long time in purgatory, being chewed.””
