Peter Singer
The only justifiable stopping place for for the expansion of altruism is the point at which all whose welfare can be affected by our actions are included within the circle of altruism. This means that all beings with the capacity to feel pleasure or pain should be included; we can improve their welfare by increasing their pleasures and diminishing their pains.
Singer quotes
Ethics seems a morass which we have to cross, but get hopelessly bogged in when we make the attempt.
Singer
Since ancient times, philosophers have maintained that to strive too hard for one's own happiness is self-defeating.
