Edgar Allan Poe
The depth lies in the valleys where we seek her, and not upon the mountain-tops where she is found.
Edgar Allan Poe
Even in the grave, all is not lost.
Edgar Allan Poe
A poem in my opinion, is opposed to a work of science by having for its immediate object, pleasure, not truth.
Edgar Allan Poe
All religion, my friend, is simply evolved out of fraud, fear, greed, imagination, and poetry.
Edgar Allan Poe
