STRANGELOVE REPRODUCTION: Having children to make up for the fact that one no longer believes in the future.
Douglas Coupland
And in his heart, I think, he's now learned what I came to believe, which is, as I've said all along, that the sun may burn brightly, and the faces of children may be plump and achingly sweet, but in the air we breathe, in the water we drink and in the food we share, there will always be darkness in this world.
