What is the use of a new-born child?

Life is rather a state of embryo, a preparation for life; a man is not completely born till he has passed through death

We are all born ignorant, but one must work hard to remain stupid.

when your child is born, you know that of all the lives you might have lived, only this one was ever really possible.

I was born in France. I grew up in Africa.

Seeing your child for the first time is rarest of occasions. You see glimpses of yourself from the past. The potential of a brand new life happening right before your eyes. And most importantly, that life begins again.
