“Viewed from a wholly logical point of view the bearing and rearing of children is a thoroughly unattractive proposition. To a woman it means pain and endless worry. To a man it means extra work extending over many years to support his family. So, if we were wholly logical about sex, we should probably not bother to reproduce at all. Nature takes care of this by making us utterly and wholly irrational.”
― Fred Hoyle, The Black Cloud

“Being asked for what purpose he thought men were bom, he laughingly replied “ To realise how much better it were not to be born.”
