Aasif Mandvi

For my parents' generation, the idea was not that marriage was about some kind of idealized, romantic love; it was a partnership. It's about creating family; it's about creating offspring. Indian culture is essentially much more of a 'we' culture. It's a communal culture where you do what's best for the community - you procreate.

Indian Actor

Monica Bellucci

Men have the power in everything: journalism, acting, direction; in banks, finances, schools. All the laws are made by men. Men think that women, when they're not able to procreate any more, become old. That is not true - they are still amazing!

Italian Actress

Virginia Williams

I felt like a failure, like somehow my self-worth was tied to my ability to procreate. I didn't feel like I could talk about it. I did not want other people's pity, so I mostly kept my story and my feelings to myself.

American Actress

Joe Lycett

I don't want a little Oliver/Olivia parasite running about eating my biscuits. My friends, on the other hand, are procreating like humanity depends on it, and it doesn't.

British Comedian

Dirk Benedict

There is a divine moment in our lives when we all become one. It's called procreation, and it is reborn, continually and forever.

American Actor

Pam Bondi

Historically, there has been a clear and essential connection between marriage and responsible procreation and child rearing.

American Public Servant

Leon Kass

The abortion controversy is important for what it says about our stance toward procreation and children altogether.

American Educator

Mortimer Adler

One of the aims of sexual union is procreation - the creation by reproduction of an image of itself, of the union.

American Philosopher

George Murray

I feel as though I've fooled the world into thinking I'm an adult and now they're letting me procreate.

Canadian Poet

Walter Benjamin

Living substance conquers the frenzy of destruction only in the ecstasy of procreation.

German Critic

Used mainly in a biological or animal context to refer to natural reproductive processes.

Biological Context

Do not use 'procreate' for anything that does not have life; it's strictly for living organisms.

Not for Machines

It's a formal word, often used in scientific texts or serious discussions about reproduction.
