Quote by Geoffrey Wood

“They scold their own hearts but it actuates no real change, only deepens the wound. But they can’t look away from it. Thus, by paralyzing their Present, we beat The Adversary on His home turf. And loop after loop, the depressed haunt and harrow themselves, sometimes for years, when they have only, for a brief moment, to look away from themselves, to look up.”

“People with four kids will eventually inherit the wealth of those with one—no preparation can save you if you're not having children; it's just a matter of time. Along with the wealth you're trying so hard to accumulate, you'll lose your history, civilization, culture, philosophies, identity, faith, and everything that defines you. You will exist as if you never existed.”
