David Benatar Quotes
We infrequently contemplate the harms that await any new-born child—pain, disappointment, anxiety, grief, and death.

Only existers suffer harm.

I had a very good time when I did The Gleaners - even though the people are poor, and I was suffering to see the conditions, and plus they are not such lovely hearts.
