In accordance with my conception of life, I have chosen not to bring children into the world. A coin is examined, and only after careful deliberation, given to a beggar, whereas a child is flung out into the cosmic brutality without hesitation.

If one regards life and death as natural processes, the metaphysical dread vanishes, and one obtains peace of mind.

To bear children into this world is like carrying wood to a burning house.

The more a human being in his worldview approaches the goal, the hegemony of love in a moral universe, the more has he become slipshod in the light of intellectual honesty.

The immediate facts are what we must relate to. Darkness and light, beginning and end.

A coin is turned around before it is handed to the beggar, yet a child is unflinchingly tossed into cosmic bruteness.

Jesus must have been a psychopath
