Vonnegut's Philosophy on Children

Written by tragic.sense — March 10, 2021

He said he was sad sometimes that he had no children. “But I’m glad in a way, too,” he went on. “I mean, why should I contribute to overpopulation?” Dwayne didn’t say anything. “Maybe we should have adopted one,” said Harry, “but it’s too late now. And the old lady and me - we have a good time just horsing around with ourselves. What do we need a kid for?”

From Kurt Vonnegut’s “Breakfast of Champions” (1973).
