What does it matter, when you come to think of it, whether a child is yours by blood or not? All the little ones of our time are collectively the children of us adults of the time, and entitled to our general care.
仔细想想,一个孩子是否与你有血缘关系,究竟有什么要紧?我们这个时代的所有孩子,都是我们这些成年人的共同孩子,理应得到我们共同的关爱。
— Thomas Hardy · Jude the Obscure (1895) · Jude Fawley —
