More quotes by Edgar Allan Poe
Believe only half of what you see and nothing that you hear.
Edgar Allan Poe
True, nervous, very, very dreadfully nervous I had been and am, but why will say that I am mad?! The disease had haunted my senses, not destroyed, not dulled them. Of all the sense of hearing acute.
Edgar Allan Poe
As the strong man exults in his physical ability, delighting in such exercises as call his muscles into action, so glories the analyst in that moral activity which disentangles.
Edgar Allan Poe
Fill with mingled cream and amber, I will drain that glass again. Such hilarious visions clamber Through the chamber of my brain — Quaintest thoughts — queerest fancies Come to life and fade away What care I how time advances? I am drinking ale today.
Edgar Allan Poe
I could have clasped the red walls to my bosom as a garment of eternal peace. Death, I said, any death but that of the pit! Fool! might I have not known that into the pit it was the object of the burning iron to urge me?
Edgar Allan Poe
The realities of the world affected me as visions, and as visions only, while the wild ideas of the land of dreams became, in turn,—not the material of my every-day existence--but in very deed that existence utterly and solely in itself.
Edgar Allan Poe
And so, being young and dipt in folly, I fell in love with melancholy.
Edgar Allan Poe
I remained too much inside my head and ended up losing my mind.
Edgar Allan Poe
To him, who still would gaze upon the glory of the summer sun, there comes, when that sun will from him part, a sullen hopelessness of heart.
Edgar Allan Poe
From a proud tower in the town, Death looks gigantically down.
Edgar Allan Poe
With me poetry has not been a purpose, but a passion.
Edgar Allan Poe
Few persons can be made to believe that it is not quite an easy thing to invent a method of secret writing that shall baffle investigation. Yet it may be roundly asserted that human ingenuity cannot concoct a cipher which human ingenuity cannot resolve.
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
The world is a great ocean, upon which we encounter more tempestuous storms than calms.
Edgar Allan Poe
The mere imitation, however accurate, of what is in Nature, entitles no man to the sacred name of Artist
Edgar Allan Poe
This maiden she lived with no other thought Than to love and be loved by me.
Edgar Allan Poe
And my soul from out that shadow that lies floating on the floor, Shall be lifted -- Nevermore!
Edgar Allan Poe
The plots of God are perfect. The Universe is a plot of God.
Edgar Allan Poe
For my own part, I have never had a thought which I could not set down in words, with even more distinctness than that with which I conceived it.
Edgar Allan Poe
Ghastly grim and ancient raven wandering from the nightly shore - Tell me what thy lordly name is on the Night's Plutonian shore! Quoth the raven, `Nevermore.
Edgar Allan Poe
