Sarah Kane
“Don't even think about it. Who would have children. You have kids, they grow up, they hate you and you die.”
Sarah Kane, Blasted

Fred Hoyle
“Viewed from a wholly logical point of view the bearing and rearing of children is a thoroughly unattractive proposition. To a woman it means pain and endless worry. To a man it means extra work extending over many years to support his family. So, if we were wholly logical about sex, we should probably not bother to reproduce at all. Nature takes care of this by making us utterly and wholly irrational.”
Fred Hoyle, The Black Cloud

Keijo Kangur
“Depressed, negative, and pessimistic people were often treated like lepers in this world. It was as though people feared catching what they had. Perhaps because what they were saying made sense? Hell, if everybody would see the world as it truly was, we’d all be depressed. But if that were the case, there wouldn’t even be any people. For nobody would want to bring a child into this fucked up world if they truly understood the sorry state of things. The fact that we kept on breeding showed that delusion was necessary for the continuation of the species.”
Keijo Kangur, The Nihilist

Nigel Warburton
“If you do something just because of how you feel that is not a good action at all.”
Nigel Warburton, A Little History of Philosophy

Etty Hillesum
“The mother instinct is something of which I am completely devoid. I explain it like this to myself: life is a vale of tears and all human beings are miserable creatures, so I cannot take the responsibility for bringing yet another unhappy creature into the world.”
Etty Hillesum, An Interrupted Life: The Diaries, 1941-1943; and Letters from Westerbork
