\\n\\nHere is the quote from Kahlil Gibran\'s The Prophet:
\\nThen an old man, a keeper of an inn, said,
\\nSpeak to us of Eating and Drinking.
\\nAnd he said:
\\nWould that you could live on the fragrance of the earth, and like an air
plant be sustained by the light.
But since you must kill to eat, and rob the newly born of its mother\\u2019s milk to
quench your thirst, let it then be an act of worship,
And let your board stand an altar on which the pure and the innocent of
forest and plain are sacrificed for that which is purer and still more innocent
in man.
When you kill a beast say to him in your heart,
\\n\\u201cBy the same power that slays you, I too am slain; and I too shall be consumed.
\\nFor the law that delivered you into my hand shall deliver me into a mightier
hand.
Your blood and my blood is naught but the sap that feeds the tree of heaven.\\u201d
\\nAnd when you crush an apple with your teeth, say to it in your heart,
\\n\\u201cYour seeds shall live in my body,
\\nAnd the buds of your tomorrow shall blossom in my heart,
\\nAnd your fragrance shall be my breath,
And together we shall rejoice through all the seasons.\\u201d
And in the autumn, when you gather the grapes of your vineyards for the
winepress, say in your heart,
\\u201cI too am a vineyard, and my fruit shall be gathered for the winepress,
\\nAnd like new wine I shall be kept in eternal vessels.\\u201d
\\nAnd in winter, when you draw the wine, let there be in your heart a song
for each cup;
And let there be in the song a remembrance for the autumn days, and for
the vineyard, and for the winepress.
