Edgar Allan Poe
A lie travels round the world while truth is putting her boots on.
Edgar Allan Poe
There is no beauty without some strangeness
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
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
To him, who still would gaze upon the glory of the summer sun, there comes, when that sun will from him part, a sullen hopelessness of heart.
Edgar Allan Poe
Books, indeed, were his sole luxuries
Edgar Allan Poe
I remained too much inside my head and ended up losing my mind.
Edgar Allan Poe
