Quote by Savinien Cyrano De Bergerac
Luckless is the country in which the symbols of procreation are the objects of shame, while the agents of destruction are honored! And yet you call that member your pudendum, or shameful part, as if there were anything more glorious than creating life, or anything more atrocious than taking it away.
Summary

It highlights how a country or society can be considered unfortunate when fertility and the act of creating life is stigmatized and considered shameful, while those who cause destruction and violence are revered. The quote challenges the notion that there is anything more honorable than the ability to bring life into the world, and questions the morality of taking life away.
