More quotes by Edgar Allan Poe
The result of law inviolate is perfection–right–negative happiness. The result of law violate is imperfection, wrong, positive pain.
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
A mystery, and a dream, should my early life seem.
Edgar Allan Poe
It is clear that a poem may be improperly brief. Undue brevity degenerates into mere epigrammatism. A very short poem, while now and then producing a brilliant or vivid, never produces a profound or enduring, effect. There must be the steady pressing down of the stamp upon the wax.
Edgar Allan Poe
And I fell violently on my face.
Edgar Allan Poe
There are some secrets which do not permit themselves to be told.
Edgar Allan Poe
I wish I could write as mysterious as a cat.
Edgar Allan Poe
I am actuated by an ambition which I believe to be an honourable one the ambition of serving the great cause of truth, while endeavouring to forward the literature of the country.
Edgar Allan Poe
As for Republicanism, no analogy could be found for it upon the face of the earth—unless we except the case of the prairie dogs, an exception which seems to demonstrate, if anything, that democracy is a very admirable form of government—for dogs.
Edgar Allan Poe
There is no beauty without some strangeness
Edgar Allan Poe
And all my days are trances, And all my nightly dreams Are where thy dark eye glances, And where thy footstep gleams-- In what ethereal dances, By what eternal streams!
Edgar Allan Poe
Mysteries force a man to think, and so injure his health.
Edgar Allan Poe
I intend to put up with nothing that I can put down.
Edgar Allan Poe
There are two bodies - the rudimental and the complete corresponding with the two conditions of the worm and the butterfly. What we call death, is but the painful metamorphosis. Our present incarnation is progressive, preparatory, temporary. Our future is perfected, ultimate, immortal. The ultimate life is the full design.
Edgar Allan Poe
The depth lies in the valleys where we seek her, and not upon the mountain-tops where she is found.
Edgar Allan Poe
From a proud tower in the town, Death looks gigantically down.
Edgar Allan Poe
Deep in earth my love is lying And I must weep alone.
Edgar Allan Poe
When, indeed, men speak of Beauty, they mean, precisely, not a quality, as is supposed, but an effect - they refer, in short, just to that intense and pure elevation of soul - not of intellect, or of heart.
Edgar Allan Poe
That single thought is enough. The impulse increases to a wish, the wish to a desire, the desire to an uncontrollable longing, and the longing (to the deep regret and mortification of the speaker, and in defiance of all consequences,) is indulged.
Edgar Allan Poe
Books, indeed, were his sole luxuries
Edgar Allan Poe
