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
Believe me, there exists no such dilemma as that in which a gentleman is placed when he is forced to reply to a blackguard.
Edgar Allan Poe
The fever called living Is conquer'd at last.
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
A short story must have a single mood and every sentence must build towards it.
Edgar Allan Poe
I wish I could write as mysterious as a cat.
Edgar Allan Poe
To speak algebraically, Mr. M. is execrable, but Mr. G. is (x + 1)- ecrable.
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
I was never really insane except upon occasions when my heart was touched.
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
