The world population 60 years ago was just over 2 billion and it's now more than 6 billion. This huge increase - an explosion really - has probably done more harm to the environment than anything else.

If anyone has a new idea in this country, there are twice as many people who keep putting a man with a red flag in front of it.

I just wonder what it would be like to be reincarnated in an animal whose species had been so reduced in numbers than it was in danger of extinction. What would be its feelings toward the human species whose population explosion had denied it somewhere to exist. I must confess that I am tempted to ask for reincarnation as a particularly deadly virus.

I have very little experience of self-government. In fact, I am one of the most governed people in the world.

Cannibalism is a radical but realistic solution to the problem of overpopulation.

You have mosquitoes. I have the Press.
