More quotes by Edgar Allan Poe
It is with literature as with law or empire - an established name is an estate in tenure, or a throne in possession.
Edgar Allan Poe
Quoth the Raven, Nevermore.
Edgar Allan Poe
The generous Critic fann'd the Poet's fire, And taught the world with reason to admire.
Edgar Allan Poe
And travellers, now, within that valley, Through the red-litten windows see Vast forms, that move fantastically To a discordant melody, While, like a ghastly rapid river, Through the pale door A hideous throng rush out forever And laugh — but smile no more.
Edgar Allan Poe
Tell me truly, I implore-- Is there-- is there balm in Gilead?--tell me--tell me, I implore!
Edgar Allan Poe
Were I called on to define, very briefly, the term Art, I should call it 'the reproduction of what the Senses perceive in Nature through the veil of the soul.' The mere imitation, however accurate, of what is in Nature, entitles no man to the sacred name of 'Artist.'
Edgar Allan Poe
The depth lies in the valleys where we seek her, and not upon the mountain-tops where she is found.
Edgar Allan Poe
The customs of the world are so many conventional follies.
Edgar Allan Poe
Whether people grow fat by joking, or whether there is something in fat itself which predisposes to a joke, I have never been quite able to determine.
Edgar Allan Poe
If I could dwell where Israfel hath dwelt and he where I he might not sing so wildly well a mortal melody while a bolder note then this might swell from my lyre in the sky.
Edgar Allan Poe
Once upon a midnight dreary
Edgar Allan Poe
The greater amount of truth is impulsively uttered thus the greater amount is spoken, not written.
Edgar Allan Poe
Music, when combined with a pleasurable idea, is poetry music, without the idea, is simply music the idea, without the music, is prose, from its very definitiveness.
Edgar Allan Poe
To him, who still would gaze upon the glory of the summer sun, there comes, when that sun will from him part, a sullen hopelessness of heart.
Edgar Allan Poe
All that we see or seem is but a dream within a dream.
Edgar Allan Poe
I dread the events of the future, not in themselves but in their results.
Edgar Allan Poe
The true genius shudders at incompleteness - and usually prefers silence to saying something which is not everything it should be.
Edgar Allan Poe
Sensations are the great things, after all. Should you ever be drowned or hung, be sure and make a note of your sensations they will be worth to you ten guineas a sheet.
Edgar Allan Poe
If we cannot comprehend God in his visible works, how then in his inconceivable thoughts, that call the works into being?
Edgar Allan Poe
Happiness is not to be found in knowledge, but in the acquisition of knowledge
Edgar Allan Poe
