"The Bible commandment 'thou shalt not kill' is a naivete compared to the 
commandment of life to decadents, thou shalt not beget."

Friedrich Nietzsche

The quote is from 'Nietzsche the Thinker' by William Salter.  He doesn't 
footnote it but it sounds about right.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Mackintire_Salter

The early 20th century was more concerned with improving society than 
coddling the misfits.

"Three generations of imbeciles are enough."

Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr.
