More quotes by Edgar Allan Poe
Take thy beak from out my heart, and take thy form from off my door!” Quoth the raven, “Nevermore.
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
And the Raven, never flitting, still is sitting, still is sitting...
Edgar Allan Poe
As for Republicanism, no analogy could be found for it upon the face of the earth—unless we except the case of the prairie dogs, an exception which seems to demonstrate, if anything, that democracy is a very admirable form of government—for dogs.
Edgar Allan Poe
In the deepest slumber-no! In delirium-no! In a swoon-no! In death-no! even in the grave all is not lost.
Edgar Allan Poe
Alas! for that accursed time They bore thee o'er the billow, From love to titled age and crime, And an unholy pillow! From me, and from our misty clime, Where weeps the silver willow!
Edgar Allan Poe
And much of Madness, and more of Sin, And Horror the soul of the plot.
Edgar Allan Poe
Whether people grow fat by joking, or whether there is something in fat itself which predisposes to a joke, I have never been quite able to determine.
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. On the other hand, accuse an honorable man, too petinaciously, of being a villain, and you fill him with a perverse ambition to show you that you are not altogether in the wrong.
Edgar Allan Poe
The generous Critic fann'd the Poet's fire, And taught the world with reason to admire.
Edgar Allan Poe
Out- out are the lights- out all! And, over each quivering form, The curtain, a funeral pall, Comes down with the rush of a storm, While the angels, all pallid and wan, Uprising, unveiling, affirm That the play is the tragedy, Man, And its hero the Conqueror Worm.
Edgar Allan Poe
Believe only half of what you see and nothing that you hear.
Edgar Allan Poe
There are some secrets which do not permit themselves to be told.
Edgar Allan Poe
If you are ever drowned or hung, be sure and make a note of your sensations.
Edgar Allan Poe
A lie travels round the world while truth is putting her boots on.
Edgar Allan Poe
I have, indeed, no abhorrence of danger, except in its absolute effect - in terror.
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
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
Mournful and Never-ending Remembrance.
Edgar Allan Poe
We gave him a hearty welcome, for there was nearly half as much of the entertaining as of the contemptible about the man.
Edgar Allan Poe
