Children consume our lives and then destroy them. Children drag us toward disaster; it’s unavoidable. When you see those laughing couples casting off into the sea of matrimony, you say to yourself, they have no idea, poor things, they have no idea, they’re happy.

Reza, Yasmina, God of Carnage, Dramatists Play Service, 2008, pp. 33.
