Commonplace Book

'"...what business have people to bring children into the world only to starve, or to sponge upon others? There ought to be an Act of Parliament against it! Oh, why - why is not one allowed to have a look into life before one is born - to have one's choice whether one will come into it at all or no? But, if one had, who would come? - who would?"

from Red as a Rose is She by Rhoda Broughton (Chapter XXIII)
