A child is not a lottery ticket that should win in the form of a portrait in the magistrate's meeting room or a bust in the foyer of the theater.

A child is not the soil cultivated by heredity for the sowing of life; we can only contribute to the growth of that which fiercely and persistently begins to strive for life in him even before his first breath.
