More quotes by Edgar Allan Poe
Tell a scoundrel, three or four times a day, that he is the pink of probity, and you make him at least the perfection of respectability in good earnest.

Edgar Allan Poe
Tell me truly, I implore-- Is there-- is there balm in Gilead?--tell me--tell me, I implore!

Edgar Allan Poe
Me volví loco, con largos intervalos de horrible cordura.
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
If we cannot comprehend God in his visible works, how then in his inconceivable thoughts, that call the works into being?
Edgar Allan Poe
Grammar is the analysis of language.
Edgar Allan Poe
If a poem hasn't ripped apart your soul you haven't experienced poetry.
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
In other words, I believed, and still do believe, that truth, is frequently of its own essence, superficial, and that, in many cases, the depth lies more in the abysses where we seek her, than in the actual situations wherein she may be found.
Edgar Allan Poe
In reading some books we occupy ourselves chiefly with the thoughts of the author in perusing others, exclusively with our own.
