>>7300566>Why does such a sad fate befall the greats?The point is that marriage and raising children is a great strain on a man's time and resources, which may hinder his ability to produce art.
I don't think he's right, though. Much good can come out of marriage and children. And even if it can't, it is still better to enjoy family in obscurity than to earn fame and respect only for art, and never to know the joys and pains of wife and child.
