― Theodore Dreiser, Sister Carrie

“The only thing that makes me somewhat sceptical regarding human procreation is the unintelligent selection of parents. Some of the most unattractive individuals in the world feel they must multiply at all costs. They are apparently under the illusion that the burden of ugliness becomes lighter if it is shared with descendants.”
― Milan Kundera, Farewell Waltz

“You can't measure the mutual affection of two human beings by the number of words they exchange.”
― Milan Kundera
