Diogenes of Sinope
For as Diogenes says, Thieves and enemies are not found among those that feed on maize, but sycophants and tyrants are produced from those who feed on flesh. (Porphyry [3rd C], On Abstinence From Animal Food, Book the First [3rd c.], 1.48) Diogenes maintains that tyrants do not bring about revolutions in cities, and foment wars civil or foreign for the sake of a simple diet of vegetables and fruits, but for costly meats and the delicacies of the table. (Saint Jerome, Against Jovanianus [393], 2.11) ______ Father Bougeant says of cats, "I might even make philosophers of them, and compare at least many of their Species with Diogenes living in a tub." (Father Bougeant, A Philosophical Amusement Upon the Language of Beasts [1737], "On the Language of Beasts"). | ||||||||
