“Give a low man one ounce of power and he’ll throw ten thousand pounds of bricks on your head.”

“One cannot bring children into a world like this. One cannot perpetuate suffering, or increase the breed of these lustful animals, who have no lasting emotions, but only whims and vanities, eddying them now this way, now that.”
