50. Did you answer these questions honestly?

These are really neat(I read the other one first) I may have to do one for fun on my day off.
Okay also, your quote... I don't know if yours is by a different person or it's just a different... way of saying the same thing, but G.K. Chesterton once wrote, "Fairy tales do not tell children the dragons exist. Children already know that dragons exist. Fairy tales tell children the dragons can be killed.”
Sorry if I sounded a bit "know-it-all-ish" there but that quote from G.K. is my favorite quote from him ever.

Thank you :) Glad you enjoyed and sure, would love to read 'em. As for the quote, I didn't know that one by Chesterton so thank you, I like that one. Honestly though, I have no idea if this one is a variation on that or something else all together. I saw it in an RPG forum... lord... probably 10 years ago or so and it was credited as "unknown" sadly, so I just ran with it
2032106 Yeah the quote could go either way... who knows? The way I see it it doesn't matter who said it, just that someone said it and it was worth repeating.
2032681 you are absolutely correct!
