Birth Missing

Famous quotes containing the words birth and/or missing:

“... in all cases of monstrosity at birth anaesthetics should be applied by doctors publicly appointed for that purpose... Every successive year would see fewer of the unfit born, and finally none. But, it may be urged, this is legalized infanticide. Assuredly it is; and it is urgently needed.”
—Tennessee Claflin (1846–1923)

“Franklin,—Washington,—they were left off without dying; they were merely missing one day.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
