It says, 'Humanity's greatest sin is being born.' Or something close to that.

I'm afraid Pedro Calderón de la Barca--the one who said it--was an incurable optimist or else he was simply taking the piss.

I'm not sure whether to recommend him to you. Do you like plays? There was a revival of his El Mágico Prodigioso (in translation, of course, and called something like The Supreme Sorceror) at the New Drury Lane. The Sandovals and Harrods put up the dosh to get it done, and I've heard they've got another of his on the list for next season. El Médico de Su Honra, I think. Or maybe it's the other one about dishonour; I can never keep those straight.
