Gregory David RobertsMany people are very, very concerned with the children in India, with the children in Africa where quite a number die, maybe of malnutrition, of hunger and so on, but millions are dying deliberately by the will of the mother.

There is always one more who deserves it. When it becomes too easy to kill, it never ends.
