Bertrand Russell, The Impact of Science on Society

If a Black Death could spread throughout the world once in every generation, survivors could procreate freely without making the world too full. ... The state of affairs might be somewhat unpleasant, but what of it? Really high-minded people are indifferent to happiness, especially other people's.

Bertrand Russell

The Impact of Science on Society (1951)
