Edgar Allan Poe
Where the good and the bad and the worst and the best have gone to their eternal rest.
Edgar Allan Poe
All that we see or seem is but a dream within a dream.
Edgar Allan Poe
I was never really insane except upon occasions when my heart was touched.
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

Edgar Allan Poe

Edgar Allan Poe
The scariest monsters are the ones that lurk within our souls.
Edgar Allan Poe

Edgar Allan Poe
The plots of God are perfect. The Universe is a plot of God.
Edgar Allan Poe
The fury of a demon instantly possessed me. I knew myself no longer. My original soul seemed, at once, to take its flight from my body and a more than fiendish malevolence, gin-nurtured, thrilled every fibre of my frame.
Edgar Allan Poe
The pioneers and missionaries of religion have been the real cause of more trouble and war than all other classes of mankind.
Edgar Allan Poe
-ev'n with us the breath Of Science dims the mirror of our joy.
Edgar Allan Poe
Tell me truly, I implore-- Is there-- is there balm in Gilead?--tell me--tell me, I implore!
Edgar Allan Poe
Over the Mountains Of the Moon, Down the Valley of the Shadow, Ride, boldly ride, The shade replied,- If you seek for Eldorado.
Edgar Allan Poe
There are some secrets which do not permit themselves to be told.
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
