The idea that somebody else is going to swoop down and play the fairy godmother role is pretty unlikely, so why not take care of yourself? – Victoria Moran
Your body has something in the neighborhood of 40 trillion cells – quite a consulting committee. Call on it when you’re confused or undecided. Relax quietly and ask your body what it has to say. – Victoria Moran
Taking B12 is the price of getting to be vegan, the way wearing a helmet is the price of getting to ride a motorcycle and giving up alcohol for nine months is the price of getting to have a baby. – Victoria Moran
Because love encompasses everything, nothing is unimportant, including tonight’s dinner menu. Think about it for a minute. If you were pure love, the loving parent of all life, how would you want people to eat? – Victoria Moran
On the issue of abortion, I’m ever on the fence, or, at most, an inch or two to either side. – Victoria Moran
I don’t eat animals. I rescue strays and take injured pigeons to the wildlife rehab. I carry spiders and wasps outside in a cup covered with a 3×5 card. It would only follow that I’d take pause when contemplating the abrupt and apparently brutal ending of a tiny human being’s life, or even a potential human being’s life. – Victoria Moran
As I see it, a green salad is an open invitation to carrots, onions, mushrooms, tomatoes, and the sprouts that grow in jars on my kitchen counter. – Victoria Moran
I see people having fits because their coffee is too hot or their baked potato is too cold, or some random something is imperfect and somebody can be blamed for it. These people can fly off the handle and nobody says, ‘Too much beef will do that to a person.’ If it’s a vegan: a clear case of alfalfa sprout poisoning. – Victoria Moran
There are some things that money can’t buy: peace of mind, for starters, and lean muscle mass. Neither the Queen of England nor the founder of Microsoft can put in an order for either one. – Victoria Moran
I realize that I’m a mature woman and one of these days, incredible diet or not, I’ll be a little old lady. – Victoria Moran
I’m not perfect, but what’s wonderful about eating a plant-based diet is, I don’t have to be. – Victoria Moran
‘Make your plate look like a Christmas tree,’ I tell people, ‘mostly green with splashes of other bright colors.’ – Victoria Moran
I have to strive to go two steps forward and realize that, sometimes, there will be one step back. – Victoria Moran
The idea that everything is purposeful really changes the way you live. To think that everything that you do has a ripple effect, that every word that you speak, every action that you make affects other people and the planet. – Victoria Moran
Being vegan is a glorious adventure. It touches every aspect of my life – my relationships, how I relate to the world. – Victoria Moran
I need a spiritual connection – I can make changes, but I can’t make miracles – and I need people around me who’ll support me and believe in me and tell me the truth and not let me deceive myself into avoiding the what’s scary and hard and necessary. – Victoria Moran
I don’t have the activist temperament. I like listening to divergent points of view and hearing people out. I like getting along. I even like being liked, although activists of any stripe should get rid of that handicap at the outset. – Victoria Moran
Beauty at 70 years old isn’t the same as beauty at 20 years old, but it is stunning nonetheless. – Victoria Moran
By itself, tofu is like wet foam rubber, but you’d no more eat it by itself and expect fine dining than you would stare at a blank canvas and expect to see fine art. – Victoria Moran
Every year when I put away my winter clothes and get out my summer clothes, they fit. And I haven’t been on a diet since the Reagan administration. – Victoria Moran
I could be a vegan in sackcloth and flip-flops, but I find fabulous boots with periwinkle cuffs a far preferable option. – Victoria Moran
My calling, as one imperfect human, is to celebrate and uphold life every time I get the chance. – Victoria Moran
