More quotes by Edgar Allan Poe
I have, indeed, no abhorrence of danger, except in its absolute effect - in terror.
Edgar Allan Poe
I was a child and she was a child, In this kingdom by the sea But we loved with a love that was more than love- I and my Annabel Lee With a love that the winged seraphs of heaven Coveted her and me.
Edgar Allan Poe
The scariest monsters are the ones that lurk within our souls.
Edgar Allan Poe
The goodness of your true pun is in the direct ratio of its intolerability.
Edgar Allan Poe
That pleasure which is at once the most pure, the most elevating and the most intense, is derived, I maintain, from the contemplation of the beautiful.

Edgar Allan Poe
The people have nothing to do with the laws but to obey them.
Edgar Allan Poe
True! - nervous - very, very nervous I had been and am but why will you say that I am mad?
Edgar Allan Poe
Men have called me mad but the question is not yet settled, whether madness is or is not the loftiest intelligence.
Edgar Allan Poe
Those who gossip with you will gossip about you.
Edgar Allan Poe
For my own part, I have never had a thought which I could not set down in words, with even more distinctness than that with which I conceived it.
Edgar Allan Poe
Indeed, there is an eloquence in true enthusiasm that is not to be doubted.
Edgar Allan Poe
It may be roundly asserted that human ingenuity cannot concoct a cipher which human ingenuity cannot resolve.
Edgar Allan Poe
I wish I could write as mysterious as a cat.
Edgar Allan Poe
And much of Madness, and more of Sin, And Horror the soul of the plot.
Edgar Allan Poe
That man is not truly brave who is afraid either to seem or to be, when it suits him, a coward.
Edgar Allan Poe
Words have no power to impress the mind without the exquisite horror of their reality.
Edgar Allan Poe
The object, Truth, or the satisfaction of the intellect, and the object, Passion, or the excitement of the heart, are, although attainable, to a certain extent, in poetry, far more readily attainable in prose.
Edgar Allan Poe
The reproduction of what the senses perceive in nature through the veil of the soul.
Edgar Allan Poe
And all my days are trances, And all my nightly dreams Are where thy dark eye glances, And where thy footstep gleams-- In what ethereal dances, By what eternal streams!
Edgar Allan Poe
