More quotes by Edgar Allan Poe
The pioneers and missionaries of religion have been the real cause of more trouble and war than all other classes of mankind.
Edgar Allan Poe
There might be a class of beings, human once, but now to humanity invisible, for whose scrutiny, and for whose refined appreciation of the beautiful, more especially than for our own, had been set in order by God the great landscape-garden of the whole earth.
Edgar Allan Poe
There is no passion in nature so demoniacally impatient, as that of him who, shuddering upon the edge of a precipice, thus meditates a Plunge.
Edgar Allan Poe
Decorum -- that bug-bear which deters so many from bliss until the opportunity for bliss has forever gone by.
Edgar Allan Poe
The past is a pebble in my shoe.
Edgar Allan Poe
And the Raven, never flitting, still is sitting, still is sitting...
Edgar Allan Poe
All religion, my friend, is simply evolved out of fraud, fear, greed, imagination, and poetry.
Edgar Allan Poe
I dread the events of the future, not in themselves but in their results.
Edgar Allan Poe

Edgar Allan Poe
Grammar is the analysis of language.
Edgar Allan Poe
Literature is the most noble of professions. In fact, it is about the only one fit for a man.
Edgar Allan Poe

Edgar Allan Poe
Odors have an altogether peculiar force, in affecting us through association a force differing essentially from that of objects addressing the touch, the taste, the sight or the hearing.
Edgar Allan Poe
There are chords in the hearts of the most reckless which cannot be touched without emotion.
Edgar Allan Poe
I am actuated by an ambition which I believe to be an honourable one the ambition of serving the great cause of truth, while endeavouring to forward the literature of the country.
Edgar Allan Poe
Indeed, there is an eloquence in true enthusiasm that is not to be doubted.
Edgar Allan Poe
The Bostonians are really, as a race, far inferior in point of anything beyond mere intellect to any other set upon the continent of North America. They are decidedly the most servile imitators of the English it is possible to conceive.
Edgar Allan Poe
Few persons can be made to believe that it is not quite an easy thing to invent a method of secret writing that shall baffle investigation. Yet it may be roundly asserted that human ingenuity cannot concoct a cipher which human ingenuity cannot resolve.
Edgar Allan Poe
If you are ever drowned or hung, be sure and make a note of your sensations.
Edgar Allan Poe
And I fell violently on my face.
Edgar Allan Poe
