MacDonald - Lilith

MR. RAVEN, OTHERWISE KNOWN as Adam, explains the inexplicable - the rationale for abortion - in George MacDonald's book, Lilith:

She fears, therefore hates her child ... The birth of children is in her eyes the death of their parents, and every new generation the enemy of the last.

George MacDonald - Philanthropy

THE (ROLE) OF PHILANTHROPIST is indeed a dangerous one; and the man who would do his neighbour good must first study how not to do him evil, and must begin by pulling the beam out of his own eye.

- George MacDonald
