Quote by Gore Vidal

Never have children, only grand children.

Never have children, only grand children.

Summary

This quote suggests that one should skip the experience of raising their own children and instead focus solely on being a grandparent. It implies that being a grandparent is more enjoyable and fulfilling than the responsibilities and challenges of parenting. This perspective may stem from the idea that grandparents can experience the joys of children without the same level of long-term commitment and daily struggles associated with raising them.

This world is one of ancient magic peeking from behind the curtains of the present in order to examine the ruckus it set upon the globe. This was the time of harmony and warfare. This was the era of risk and of adventure; of family feuds; of forced affection, of love unrequited; of wars which took lives, by the necks of both the soul and the body, and wrought the poor thing asunder until it was forced to let go or die trying. This was, and always will be, the era belonging to the legendary Royals who fought for love, for truth, and for vengeance.
