“A man of genuine literary genius, since he possesses a temperament whose susceptibilities are of wider area than those of any other, is inevitably of all people the one most variously affected by his surroundings. And it is he, in consequence, who of all people most faithfully and compactly exhibits the impress of his times and his times' tendencies, not merely in his writings where it conceivably might be just predetermined affectation but in his personality.” PeopleMenWritingMightPersonalityGeniusConsequenceAreasGenuineTendenciesAffectedImpressSurroundingsTemperamentExhibitsPredeterminedSusceptibility Book:The Essential James Branch Cabell Collection Source: The Essential James Branch Cabell Collection

“The great news is that God knows everything about you, both good and bad, and He still loves you and values you unconditionally. God does not always approve of our behavior. He is not pleased when we go against his will, and when we do, we always suffer the consequences and have to work with Him to correct our thoughts, words, actions, or attitudes.
