James Branch Cabell quotes
People marry for a variety of reasons and with varying results. But to marry for love is to invite inevitable tragedy.
Poetry is man's rebellion against being what he is.
The optimist proclaims that we live in the best of all possible worlds, and the pessimist fears this is true.
Yet creeds mean very little, Coth answered the dark god, still speaking almost gently. The optimist proclaims that we live in the best of all possible worlds; and the pessimist fears this is true.
