“Fairy tales do not tell children the dragons exist. Children already know that dragons exist. Fairy tales tell children the dragons can be killed.” -G.K. Chesterton
(I relished reading "the man who was Thursday" however enjoying it less and less towards the end, until finally regretting reading the last chapter. You'll see why when you read it.)

"Assuming that we start counting from about 50,000 B.C., the time when modern Homo sapiens appeared on the earth (and not from 700,000 B.C. when the ancestors of Homo sapiens appeared, or several million years ago when hominids were present), taking into account that all population data are a rough estimate, and assuming a constant growth rate applied to each period up to modern times, it has been estimated that a total of approximately 106 billion people have been born since the dawn of the human species, making the population currently alive roughly 6% of all people who have ever lived on planet Earth.
Others have estimated the number of human beings who have ever lived to be anywhere from 45 billion to 125 billion, with most estimates falling into the range of 90 to 110 billion humans."

A verse translated into modern English
By Edwin Morgan
G. Polya!
Found on a recent walkabout, Mysterios the mysterious bridge sleeps silently near the shores of Lake Washington.
I had drank one tiny little bottle of wine, but I cannot believe I was slurring my speech so horridly.
