  1. Black Americans make up 10 or 11% of the population, but they account now for something of 40 to 45% of all the abortions. This is a privileged position that I'm not sure anyone in their right mind would aspire to.

    Alan KeyesAlan Keyes quote #16
  2. Every new baby is a blind desperate vote for survival: people who find themselves unable to register an effective political protest against extermination do so by a biological act.

    Lewis MumfordLewis Mumford quote #25
  3. The immediate cause of the increase of population is the excess of the births above deaths; and the rate of increase, or the period of doubling, depends upon the proportion which the excess of the births above the deaths bears to the population.

    Thomas MalthusThomas Malthus quote #5
  4. If we had those 40 million children that were [aborted] over the last 30 years, we wouldn't need the illegal immigrants to fill the jobs that they are doing today.

    Tom DelayTom Delay quote #1
  5. If this is the degree of inflation planned for in advance, the real outcome is indeed likely to be such that most of those who will retire at the end of the century will be dependent on the charity of the younger generation. And ultimately not morals but the fact that the young supply the police and the army will decide the issue: concentration camps for the aged unable to maintain themselves are likely to be the fate of an old generation whose income is entirely dependent on coercing the young.

    Friedrich HayekFriedrich Hayek quote #63
  6. Until recently baby production was largely dependent on slave labour; as soon as women are allowed to answer the question 'Would you like to squeeze as many objects the size of a watermelon out of your body as it takes to kill you?' they generally answer 'No, thank you.' This leads to falling birthrates everywhere women are not kept enslaved and ignorant of the alternatives.

    James NicollJames Nicoll quote #30
  7. If the statistics are right, the Jews constitute but one percent of the human race. It suggests a nebulous dim puff of star dust lost in the blaze of the Milky Way. Properly the Jew ought hardly to be heard of, but he is heard of, has always been heard of. He is as prominent on the planet as any other people, and his commercial importance is extravagantly out of proportion to the smallness of his bulk. His contributions to the world's list of great names in literature, science, art, music, finance, medicine, and abstruse learning are also away out of proportion to the weakness of his numbers. He has made a marvellous fight in the world, in all the ages; and has done it with his hands tied behind him. He could be vain of himself, and be excused for it. The Egyptian, the Babylonian, and the Persian rose, filled the planet with sound and splendor, then faded to dream-stuff and passed away; the Greek and the Roman followed, and made a vast noise, and they are gone; other peoples have sprung up and held their torch high for a time, but it burned out, and they sit in twilight now, or have vanished. The Jew saw them all, beat them all, and is now what he always was, exhibiting no decadence, no infirmities of age, no weakening of his parts, no slowing of his energies, no dulling of his alert and aggressive mind. All things are mortal but the Jew; all other forces pass, but he remains. What is the secret of his immortality?

    Mark TwainMark Twain quote #102
  8. Black people dominate sports in the United States. We're 10% of the population, we're 90% of the Final Four.

    Chris RockChris Rock quote #53
  9. The white population of the world will soon cease to increase. The Asiatic races will be longer, and the negroes still longer, before their birth rate falls sufficiently to make their numbers stable without help of war and pestilence.... Until that happens, the benefits aimed at by socialism can only be partially realized, and the less prolific races will have to defend themselves against the more prolific by methods which are disgusting even if they are necessary.

    Bertrand RussellBertrand Russell quote #16
  10. 'Well, the N.B.A.. I guess they forget how many white people they get coming to watch them play.'

    Evan MechamEvan Mecham quote #5
  11. In the first place I identify this ['the equilibrium of poverty'] with primitive agriculture, and two factors have been at work there. One is, of course, population growth. If you were a poor farmer in India, Pakistan, or in much of Africa, you would want as many sons as possible as your social security. They would keep you out of the hot sun and give you some form of subsistence in your old age. So, you have pressure for population growth that is, itself, the result of the extreme economic insecurity. This is something which hasn't been sufficiently emphasized.

    John Kenneth GalbraithJohn Kenneth Galbraith quote #49
  12. The promotion of homosexuality would lead to the eventual destruction of the human race. [3]

    Lech KaczynskiLech Kaczynski quote #4

    John CageJohn Cage quote #15
  14. De propaganda prole quaestio, non secus atque quaelibet quaestio humanam vitam attingens, ultra particulares alias eiusdem generis rationes - cuiusmodi eae sunt, quae biologicae aut psychologicae, demographicae aut sociologicae appellantur

    Paul VI (Pope)Paul VI (Pope) quote #3
  15. The only chance we have for survival, as a country and as a planet, is if idiots stop having kids. Listen: either don't screw up your kids, or don't have any! It's a lot like owning a horse: If you can't keep it in a stall, feed it some hay, and brush it down once in a while, then don't have one! Do you see what I mean? Just don't have one and let it rot in the yard!

    Adam CarollaAdam Carolla quote #7
  16. The intelligence of the planet is constant, and the population is growing.

    Arthur C. ClarkeArthur C. Clarke quote #64
  17. Our well-founded claim, grounded on continuity, has greatly strengthened, during the same period, by the rapid advance of our population toward the territory-its great increase, especially in the valley of the Mississippi-as well as the greatly increased facility of passing to the territory by more accessible routes, and the far stronger and rapidly-swelling tide of population that has recently commenced flowing into it.

    John C. CalhounJohn C. Calhoun quote #5
  18. The disruptive powers of excessive national fecundity may have played a greater part in bursting the bonds of convention than either the power of ideas or the errors of autocracy.

    John Maynard KeynesJohn Maynard Keynes quote #35
  19. Well, you're going to find a disproportionate number of Jews in any sort of intellectual undertaking.

    Richard PerleRichard Perle quote #9
  20. Men are expendable; women and children are not. A tribe or a nation can lose a high percentage of its men and still pick up the pieces and go on: as long as the women and children are saved. But if you fail to save the women and children, you've had it, you're done, you're through! You join Tyrannosaurus Rex, one more breed that bilged its final test.

    Robert A. HeinleinRobert A. Heinlein quote #162
  21. That's the way it must have been a hundred or two hundred years ago. Hardly any people and hardly any loneliness. I'm undoubtedly over-generalizing, but if the proper qualifications were introduced it would be true.

    Robert M. PirsigRobert M. Pirsig quote #35
  22. We plan to eliminate the state of Israel and establish a purely Palestinian state. We will make life unbearable for Jews by psychological warfare and population explosion. . . . We Palestinians will take over everything, including all of Jerusalem.

    Yasser ArafatYasser Arafat quote #4
  23. ... leaders who forbid their followers to use effective contraceptive methods ... express a preference for 'natural' methods of population limitation, and a natural method is exactly what they are going to get. It is called starvation.

    Richard DawkinsRichard Dawkins quote #29
  24. 'Brazilians live there'
