Dreams are the eraser dust I blow off my page. They fade into the emptiness, another dark gray day. Dreams are only memories of the plans I had back then. Dreams are eraser dust and now I use a pen.

More quotes by Edgar Allan Poe

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

Edgar Allan Poe
Thou wouldst be loved? - then let thy heart From its present pathway part not! Being everything which now thou art, Be nothing which thou art not. So with the world thy gentle ways, Thy grace, thy more than beauty, Shall be an endless theme of praise, And love - a simple duty.
Edgar Allan Poe
The ninety and nine are with dreams, content but the hope of the world made new, is the hundredth man who is grimly bent on making those dreams come true.
Edgar Allan Poe
In the marginalia ... we talk only to ourselves we therefore talk freshly - boldly - originally - with abandonment - without conceit.
Edgar Allan Poe
With me poetry has not been a purpose, but a passion.
Edgar Allan Poe

Edgar Allan Poe
The plots of God are perfect. The Universe is a plot of God.
Edgar Allan Poe
And then there stole into my fancy, like a rich musical note, the thought of what sweet rest there must be in the grave.
Edgar Allan Poe
By a route obscure and lonely Haunted by ill angels only, Where an eidolon, named NIGHT, On a black throne reigns upright, I have reached these lands but newly From an ultimate dim Thule -- From a wild, weird clime that lieth, sublime, Out of SPACE, out of TIME.
Edgar Allan Poe
the truth is, I am heartily sick of this life & of the nineteenth century in general. (I am convinced that every thing is going wrong.)
Edgar Allan Poe
When a madman appears thoroughly sane, indeed, it is high time to put him in a straight jacket.
Edgar Allan Poe
Music, when combined with a pleasurable idea, is poetry music, without the idea, is simply music the idea, without the music, is prose, from its very definitiveness.
Edgar Allan Poe
It is impossible to say how first the idea entered my brain, but, once conceived, it haunted me day and night.
Edgar Allan Poe
The generous Critic fann'd the Poet's fire, And taught the world with reason to admire.
Edgar Allan Poe
And much of Madness, and more of Sin, And Horror the soul of the plot.
Edgar Allan Poe
