Who said “Think of the earth as a living organism that is being attacked by billions of bacteria…”?

“Population, when unchecked, increases in a geometrical ratio.”

“The world is populated in the main by people who should not exist.”

“The purpose of population is not ultimately peopling earth. It is to fill heaven.”

“If government knew how, I should like to see it check, not multiply, the population. When it reaches its true law of action, every man that is born will be hailed as essential.”

“There is something about a bureaucrat that does not like a poem.”
