• Capitalism rules worldwide, and a society whose economic fabric depends on constant growth requires that its citizens have ever-expanding needs and wants... In the West, it will take one with soul force equal to Gandhi's to change the prevailing dogma of ever increasing GNP.

But the crisis will wait another fifty years or so; we'll leave those problems to a generation yet unborn.

• For man, the vast marvel is to be alive. For man, as for flower and beast and bird, the supreme triumph is to be most vividly, most perfectly alive. Whatever the unborn may know, they cannot know the beauty, the marvel of being alive in the flesh. The dead may look after the afterwards. But the magnificent here and now of life in the flesh is ours, and ours alone, and ours only for a time.

• … our sons must become men – such men as we hope our daughters, born and unborn, will be pleased to live among. Our sons will not grow into women.

• Sometimes I've been to cryin' for unborn children
  That might have made me complete

  Hey lady, I've been to paradise, but I've never been to me

• The life that is demanding to be born is limitless. Nature is a spendthrift. Look at the fish and their millions of eggs. For that matter, look at you and me.
