More quotes by Edgar Allan Poe
Believe only half of what you see and nothing that you hear.
Edgar Allan Poe
A mystery, and a dream, should my early life seem.
Edgar Allan Poe
Even in the grave, all is not lost.
Edgar Allan Poe
If we examine a work of ordinary art, by means of a powerful microscope, all traces of resemblance to nature will disappear - but the closest scrutiny of the photogenic drawing discloses only a more absolute truth, a more perfect identity of aspect with the thing represented.
Edgar Allan Poe
Truth is not always in a well. In fact, as regards the more important knowledge, I do believe that she is invariably superficial. The depth lies in the valleys where we seek her, and not upon the mountain-tops where she is found.
Edgar Allan Poe

Edgar Allan Poe

Edgar Allan Poe

Edgar Allan Poe
Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered weak and weary.
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
As a viewed myself in a fragment of looking-glass..., I was so impressed with a sense of vague awe at my appearance ... that I was seized with a violent tremour.
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
Thank Heaven! The crisis /The danger is past, and the lingering illness, is over at last /, and the fever called ''Living'' is conquered at last.
Edgar Allan Poe
Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there, wondering, fearing, doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before.
Edgar Allan Poe
All religion, my friend, is simply evolved out of fraud, fear, greed, imagination, and poetry.
Edgar Allan Poe
Mysteries force a man to think, and so injure his health.
Edgar Allan Poe
This maiden she lived with no other thought Than to love and be loved by me.
Edgar Allan Poe
In for ever knowing, we are for ever blessed but to know all were the curse of a fiend
Edgar Allan Poe
There is no beauty without some strangeness
Edgar Allan Poe
