James Branch Cabell Quotes


An American author of fantasy fiction and belles lettres.
James Branch Cabell (April 14, 1879 – May 5, 1958) was an American author of fantasy fiction and belles lettres. Cabell was well regarded by his contemporaries, including H. L. Mencken and Sinclair Lewis. His works were considered escapist and fit well in the culture of the 1920s, when his works were most popular. For Cabell, veracity was "the one unpardonable sin, not merely against art, but against human welfare." Interest in Cabell declined in the 1930s, a decline that has been attributed in part to his failure to move out of his fantasy niche.

Here are some famous quotes by James Branch Cabell. 

There is no memory with less satisfaction than the memory of some temptation we resisted.

The optimist claims we live in the best of all possible worlds and the pessimist fears this is true.
