Edgar Allan Poe

In criticism I will be bold, and as sternly, absolutely just with friend and foe. From this purpose nothing shall turn me.
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
True! - nervous - very, very nervous I had been and am but why will you say that I am mad?
Edgar Allan Poe
And I fell violently on my face.
Edgar Allan Poe
It may well be doubted whether human ingenuity can construct an enigma... which human ingenuity may not, by proper application, resolve.

The nose of a mob is its imagination. By this, at any time, it can be quietly led.
Edgar Allan Poe
