Frost - pg. 29

"People who make a new person are taking an extraordinary responsibility upon themselves. All unrealizable. Hopeless. It's a great crime to create a person, when you know he'll be unhappy, certainly if there's any unhappiness about. The unhappiness that exists momentarily is the whole of unhappiness. To produce solitude just because you don't want to be alone anymore yourself is a crime." He said: "The drive of nature is criminal, and to appeal to it is a pretext, just as everything people do is a pretext."
