More quotes by Edgar Allan Poe
And much of Madness, and more of Sin, And Horror the soul of the plot.
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
I wish I could write as mysterious as a cat.
Edgar Allan Poe
Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered weak and weary.
Edgar Allan Poe
I became insane, with long intervals of horrible sanity.
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
If we cannot comprehend God in his visible works, how then in his inconceivable thoughts, that call the works into being?
Edgar Allan Poe
I was a child and she was a child, In this kingdom by the sea But we loved with a love that was more than love- I and my Annabel Lee With a love that the winged seraphs of heaven Coveted her and me.
Edgar Allan Poe
All that we see or seem is but a dream within a dream.
Edgar Allan Poe
I intend to put up with nothing that I can put down.
Edgar Allan Poe
To die laughing must be the most glorious of all glorious deaths!
Edgar Allan Poe
A short story must have a single mood and every sentence must build towards it.
Edgar Allan Poe
Mournful and Never-ending Remembrance.
Edgar Allan Poe
Sensations are the great things, after all. Should you ever be drowned or hung, be sure and make a note of your sensations they will be worth to you ten guineas a sheet.
Edgar Allan Poe
Men have called me mad but the question is not yet settled, whether madness is or is not the loftiest intelligence– whether much that is glorious– whether all that is profound– does not spring from disease of thought– from moods of mind exalted at the expense of the general intellect.
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
Men have called me mad but the question is not yet settled, whether madness is or is not the loftiest intelligence.
Edgar Allan Poe
If the propositions of this Discourse are tenable, the state of progressive collapse is precisely that state in which alone we are warranted in considering All Things.
Edgar Allan Poe
The past is a pebble in my shoe.
Edgar Allan Poe
If a man deceives me once, shame on him if he deceives me twice, shame on me.
Edgar Allan Poe
