More quotes by Edgar Allan Poe
-ev'n with us the breath Of Science dims the mirror of our joy.
Edgar Allan Poe
And so, being young and dipt in folly, I fell in love with melancholy.
Edgar Allan Poe
Prophet! said I, thing of evil! - prophet still, if bird or devil! By that Heaven that bends above us- by that God we both adore- Tell this soul with sorrow laden if, within the distant Aidenn, It shall clasp a sainted maiden whom the angels name Lenore- Clasp a rare and radiant maiden whom the angels name Lenore. Quoth the Raven, Nevermor
Edgar Allan Poe
It would be mockery to call such dreariness heaven at all.
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
It is impossible to say how first the idea entered my brain, but, once conceived, it haunted me day and night.
Edgar Allan Poe
How much more intense is the excitement wrought in the feelings of a crowd by the contemplation of human agony, than that brought about by the most appalling spectacles of inanimate matter.
Edgar Allan Poe
Marking a book is literally an experience of your differences or agreements with the author. It is the highest respect you can pay him.
Edgar Allan Poe
There are two bodies - the rudimental and the complete corresponding with the two conditions of the worm and the butterfly. What we call death, is but the painful metamorphosis. Our present incarnation is progressive, preparatory, temporary. Our future is perfected, ultimate, immortal. The ultimate life is the full design.
Edgar Allan Poe
I remained too much inside my head and ended up losing my mind.
Edgar Allan Poe
If any ambitious man have a fancy to revolutionize, at one effort, the universal world of human thought, human opinion, and human sentiment.
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
I was cautious in what I said before the young lady for I could not be sure that she was sane and, in fact, there was a certain restless brilliancy about her eyes that half led me to imagine she was not.
Edgar Allan Poe
The rain came down upon my head - Unshelter'd. And the wind rendered me mad and deaf and blind.
Edgar Allan Poe
To die laughing must be the most glorious of all glorious deaths!
Edgar Allan Poe
When, indeed, men speak of Beauty, they mean, precisely, not a quality, as is supposed, but an effect - they refer, in short, just to that intense and pure elevation of soul - not of intellect, or of heart.
Edgar Allan Poe
Once upon a midnight dreary
Edgar Allan Poe
There is no beauty without some strangeness
Edgar Allan Poe
[E]very plot, worth the name, must be elaborated to its dénouement before anything be attempted with the pen. It is only with the dénouement constantly in view that we can plot its indispensable air of consequence, or causation, by making the incidents, and especially the tone at all points tend to the development of the intention.
Edgar Allan Poe
From a proud tower in the town, Death looks gigantically down.
Edgar Allan Poe
