The birth rate has been dropping steadily and still is. I'm wanting human beings to be better off so they don't view children as an insurance for the future.”

After all, what laws can be laid down about books? The battle of Waterloo was certainly fought on a certain day; but is Hamlet a better play than Lear? Nobody can say.

Everywhere else we may be bound by laws and conventions-there we have none.”

So let's just gather around them and pray that God's will be done on earth, versus someone's agenda.”
