If you bring a child into the world, you have a responsibility to that child in every sense of the word.

Free the child's potential, and you will transform him into the world.

If you bring a child into this world, whether it's planned or an accident, you'd better make sure you can care for it. You have to be around. You make time. It's as simple as that.

The child must know that he is a miracle, that since the beginning of the world there hasn't been, and until the end of the world there will not be, another child like him.

I really believe that if you're going to bring a child into the world, it's your job to parent that world. Especially if it's just you; you don't pawn her off on somebody.

It's all kinds of these profound things crashing on you when your child arrives into the world. It's like you've met your reason to live.

The point to have a child is to introduce them to this planet that is in some ways dying and hopefully, this new generation, these new untainted brains, will be the people to fix some of these things that this generation can't.

Because as an only child, you have your own little world.

Don't ask yourself what the world needs. Ask yourself, 'What makes me come alive?' Because what the world - a wife, a child - needs is men who have come alive.

You must work - we must all work to make the world worthy of its children.
