Quotes About Procreation

Love's only business is to preserve the race, not the individual.
~ Geoffrey Household
Every gene in every human body has passed through thousands of penises over thousands of generations of human evolution. Equally, every gene has passed down through thousands of eggs inside female ancestors who chose to copulate with particular males. In sexually reproducing species, copulation is the genetic gateway from one generation to the next, which is what makes it so important evolutionarily, physically, and psychologically.
~ Geoffrey Miller
I felt like a failure, like somehow my self-worth was tied to my ability to procreate. I didn't feel like I could talk about it. I did not want other people's pity, so I mostly kept my story and my feelings to myself.
~ Virginia Williams
Homosexuality is god's way of insuring that the truly gifted aren't burdened with children.
~ Sam Austin
When you think of home, you think about your mother. She was creative--she conceived you and gave you life. Like the maguey, woman is life-sustaining. As the plant renews and sustains life, woman procreates and maintains. The maguey is the symbol of home, of hogar .
~ Santa Barraza
Shouldn't we be against procreation at this point in time? With overpopulation and the strain on the resources on this planet? Shouldn't we reward people who don't spawn?

The young might have been restless around any primal fire where an elder was saying, Know this. Certainly they would have been restless. Their bodies were consumed with the business of lengthening limbs, sprouting hair, fitting themselves for procreation.
~ Marilynne Robinson
He spoke as if procreation of children were an extraordinary fate to overtake anyone, consequence of imprudence, if not worse.

Though a little inevitable commingling occurred for the purposes of procreation, recreational sex was generally outsourced.
~ Simon Brett
There is a divine moment in our lives when we all become one. It's called procreation, and it is reborn, continually and forever.
~ Dirk Benedict
The reason creativity and craziness go together is that if you're just plain crazy without being able to sing or dance or write good poems, no one is going to want to have babies with you. Your genes will fall by the wayside. Who but a brazen crazy person would go one-on-one with blank paper or canvas armed with nothing but ideas?
~ Mark Vonnegut
Love is the best Eugenics.
~ Arthur Schopenhauer
El fin último de todo asunto amoroso es más importante que todos los demás fines de la vida del hombre; y por lo tanto, es merecedor de la profunda seriedad con que cada uno lo persigue. En efecto, lo que aquí se decide es nada menos que la composición de la siguiente generación.
~ Arthur Schopenhauer
PriviÅ£i seriozitatea, subconÅŸtienÅ£a cu care se studiaz? la prima întrevedere un b?rbat ÅŸi o femeie: se scruteaz? reciproc, se observ? în am?nunt începând cu faÅ£a ÅŸi terminând cu ceea ce e ascuns privirii. Acest examen nu este decât meditaÅ£ia speciei asupra copilului pe care acest cuplu ar putea s?-l creeze. Rezultatul acestei meditaÅ£ii va decide gradul lor de apropiere ÅŸi dorinÅ£ele lor reciproce.
~ Arthur Schopenhauer
Come to think of it I don't know that love has a point, which is what makes it so glorious. Sex has a point, in terms of relief and, sometimes procreation, but love, like all art, as Oscar said, is quite useless. It is the useless things that make life worth living and that make life dangerous too: wine, love, art, beauty. Without them life is safe, but not worth bothering with.
~ Stephen Fry
Living substance conquers the frenzy of destruction only in the ecstasy of procreation.
~ benjamin walter iv
Your genes want you to get pregnant, and hormones are their magic wand.
~ Mary Roach
the little-known fact that the last portion of a man's ejaculate contains a natural spermicide- not intended to kill his own soldiers, obviously, but to annihilate the seed of any who come after him.
~ Mary Roach
prodigal summer, the season of extravagant procreation. It could wear out everything in its path with its passionate excesses, but nothing alive with wings or a heart or a seed curled into itself in the ground could resist welcoming it back when it came.
~ Barbara Kingsolver
I told him to be fruitful and multiply, but not in those words.
~ Steven Pinker
Do you even really know how vampires are made?' 'Well, when a mommy vampire and a daddy vampire love each other very much.
~ Cassandra Clare
The entire miracle of procreation and reproduction requires our participation, but hardly in the form of what we call our work. We did not make these marvelous creatures that walk and talk and grow among us. We participated in an act of love that was provided for us in the structure of God's creation.
~ Eugene H. Peterson
My body feels like it is asking to reproduce.
~ Shakira
