"...democracy cannot survive overpopulation. Human dignity cannot survive it. Convenience and decency cannot survive it. As you put more and more people into the world, the value of life not only declines, it disappears. It doesn't matter if someone dies. The more people there are, the less one individual matters."
 
-Isaac Asimov

"Anyone who believes that exponential growth can go on forever in a finite world is either a madman or an economist."
