More quotes by Edgar Allan Poe
I was never really insane except upon occasions when my heart was touched.
Edgar Allan Poe

Edgar Allan Poe
There are chords in the hearts of the most reckless which cannot be touched without emotion.
Edgar Allan Poe
All religion, my friend, is simply evolved out of fraud, fear, greed, imagination, and poetry.
Edgar Allan Poe

Edgar Allan Poe
If a poem hasn't ripped apart your soul you haven't experienced poetry.
Edgar Allan Poe
Yet I am not more sure that my soul lives, than I am that perverseness is one of the primitive impulses of the human heartone of the indivisible primary faculties, or sentiments, which give direction to the character of Man.
Edgar Allan Poe
How much more intense is the excitement wrought in the feelings of a crowd by the contemplation of human agony, than that brought about by the most appalling spectacles of inanimate matter.
Edgar Allan Poe
If you are ever drowned or hung, be sure and make a note of your sensations.
Edgar Allan Poe
Hear the mellow wedding bells, Golden bells! What a world of happiness their harmony foretells Through the balmy air of night How they ring out their delight! From the molten golden notes, And all in tune What a liquid ditty floats To the turtle-dove that listens while she gloats On the moon!
Edgar Allan Poe
Mysteries force a man to think, and so injure his health.
Edgar Allan Poe
Odors have an altogether peculiar force, in affecting us through association a force differing essentially from that of objects addressing the touch, the taste, the sight or the hearing.
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
Believe only half of what you see and nothing that you hear.
Edgar Allan Poe
