More quotes by Edgar Allan Poe
And I fell violently on my face.
Edgar Allan Poe
A short story must have a single mood and every sentence must build towards it.
Edgar Allan Poe
Truth is not always in a well. In fact, as regards the more important knowledge, I do believe that she is invariably superficial. The depth lies in the valleys where we seek her, and not upon the mountain-tops where she is found.
Edgar Allan Poe
I intend to put up with nothing that I can put down.
Edgar Allan Poe
In [chess], where the pieces have different and bizarre motions, with various and variable values, what is only complex, is mistaken (a not unusual error) for what is profound
Edgar Allan Poe
A poem in my opinion, is opposed to a work of science by having for its immediate object, pleasure, not truth.
Edgar Allan Poe
If you have never been at sea in a heavy gale, you can form no idea of the confusion of mind occasioned by wind and spry together. They blind, deafen, and strangle you, and take away all power of action or reflection.
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
Blood was its Avatar and its seal.
Edgar Allan Poe
Keeping time, time, time, In a sort of Runic rhyme, To the tintinnabulation that so musically wells, From the bells, bells, bells.
Edgar Allan Poe
The true genius shudders at incompleteness.
Edgar Allan Poe
I have before suggested that a genuine blackguard is never without a pocket-handkerchief.
Edgar Allan Poe
Quaff, oh quaff this kind nepenthe, and forget this lost Lenore!
Edgar Allan Poe
And all I loved, I loved alone.
Edgar Allan Poe
Even in the grave, all is not lost.
Edgar Allan Poe
Once upon a midnight dreary
Edgar Allan Poe
You are not wrong who deem That my days have been a dream Yet if hope has flown away In a night, or in a day, In a vision, or in none, Is it therefore the less gone? All that we see or seem Is but a dream within a dream.
Edgar Allan Poe
A strong argument for the religion of Christ is this - that offences against Charity are about the only ones which men on their death-beds can be made - not to understand - but to feel - as crime.
Edgar Allan Poe
It would be mockery to call such dreariness heaven at all.
Edgar Allan Poe
I hold that a long poem does not exist. I maintain that the phrase, a long poem, is simply a flat contradiction in terms.
Edgar Allan Poe
