How can we be such fools as to go on senselessly taking human life in this way? Why the women in every nation do not rise up and refuse to bring children into a world of this kind is beyond my understanding.
Eleanor Roosevelt
If we do not pay for children in good schools, then we are going to pay for them in prisons and mental hospitals.
Eleanor Roosevelt
