Edgar Allan Poe
A lie travels round the world while truth is putting her boots on.
Edgar Allan Poe
And all I loved, I loved alone.
Edgar Allan Poe
Ceux qui revent eveilles ont conscience de 1000 choses qui echapent a ceux qui ne revent qu'endormis. The one who has day dream are aware of 1000 things that the one who dreams only when he sleeps will never understand. (it sounds better in french, I do what I can with my translation...)
Edgar Allan Poe
Quaff, oh quaff this kind nepenthe, and forget this lost Lenore!
Edgar Allan Poe
The customs of the world are so many conventional follies.
Edgar Allan Poe
