" L'enfant n'est pas la propriété des parents. Ceux-ci n'ont pas le droit de le plier aux exigences de leur égoisme, de leur propre servitude. Leur rôle consiste à lui procurer la subsistance qu'il ne peut se procurer lui-même et à le protéger contre la société."

— Gérard Duvergé, bulletin of the SNI, June 1936
