"By producing and nourishing children, the father fulfills only a third of his task. He should give the human race to people, to society - to public people, to the state - citizens. Any person who can pay this triple debt and does not do this is guilty and, perhaps, more guilty if he pays it in half. Who can not fulfill the duties of the father, he has no right to be him. Neither poverty, nor work, nor the respect of people saves him from the obligation to feed his children and educate them himself "
