    “We in the West do not refrain from childbirth because we are concerned about the population explosion or because we feel we cannot afford children, but because we do not like children.”
    —Germaine Greer (b. 1939)

    “and Olaf, too

    preponderatingly because
    unless statistics lie he was
    more brave than me: more blond than you.”
    —E.E. (Edward Estlin)

    “...I want to see a film, they send the Israeli army reserves to escort me! What kind of life is this?”
    —Golda Meir (1898–1978)

    “Perfect present has no existence in our consciousness. As I said years ago in Erewhon, it lives but upon the sufferance of past and future. We are like men standing on a narrow footbridge over a railway. We can watch the future hurrying like an express train towards us, and then hurrying into the past, but in the narrow strip of present we cannot see it. Strange that that which is the most essential to our consciousness should be exactly that of which we are least definitely conscious.”
    —Samuel Butler (1835–1902)

    “That those tribes [the Sac and Fox Indians] cannot exist surrounded by our settlements and in continual contact with our citizens is certain. They have neither the intelligence, the industry, the moral habits, nor the desire of improvement which are essential to any favorable change in their condition.”
    —Andrew Jackson (1767–1845)
