“If children were brought into the world by an act of pure reason alone, would the human race continue to exist? Would not a man rather have so much sympathy with the coming generation as to spare it the burden of existence, or at any rate not take it upon himself to impose that burden upon it in cold blood?”
― Arthur Schopenhauer, Studies in Pessimism: The Essays

“And I'm not assuming and I'm not judging. I'm just being curious.”
― Ned Vizzini, It's Kind of a Funny Story

“The optimist proclaims that we live in the best of all possible worlds; and the pessimist fears this is true.”
― James Branch Cabell, The Silver Stallion

“The man who is a pessimist before 48 knows too much; if he is an optimist after it he knows too little.”
― Mark Twain
