“ When a child was born, ” says philosopher Bertrand Russell, “the father brought him before the elders of his family to be examined: if he was healthy, he was given back to the father to be reared; if not, he was thrown into a deep pit of water. ” ​ — History of Western Philosophy.
Filosoof Bertrand Russell ütleb: „Kui laps sündis, tõi isa ta uurimiseks oma suguvõsa vanemate ette: kui ta oli terve, anti ta üleskasvatamiseks isale tagasi; kui mitte, visati ta sügavasse kaevu. ” — History of Western Philosophy.
