More quotes by H. P. Lovecraft
There were nameless horrors abroad and no matter how little one might be able to get at them, one ought tp stand prepared for any sort of action at any time.
H. P. Lovecraft
I never cheat or steal. Also, I never wear a top-hat with a sack coat or munch bananas in public on the streets, because a gentleman does not do those things either. I would as soon do the one as the other sort of thing--it is all a matter of harmony and good taste.
H. P. Lovecraft
The Old Ones were, the Old Ones are, and the Old Ones shall be. Not in the spaces we know, but between them. They walk serene and primal, undimensioned and to us unseen.
H. P. Lovecraft
I know always that I am an outsider a stranger in this century and among those who are still men.
H. P. Lovecraft
I am a student of life, and don't want to miss any experience. There's poetry in this sort of thing, you know--or perhaps you don't know, but it's all the same.
H. P. Lovecraft
In short, the world abounds with simple delusions which we may call happiness, if we be but able to entertain them.
H. P. Lovecraft
My opinion of my whole experience varies from time to time.
H. P. Lovecraft
Humour is but the faint terrestrial echo of the hideous laughter of the blind mad gods that squat leeringly and sardonically in caverns beyond the Milky Way. It is a hollow thing, sweet on the outside, but filled with the pathos of fruitless aspiration.
H. P. Lovecraft
To the scientist there is the joy in pursuing truth which nearly counteracts the depressing revelations of truth.
H. P. Lovecraft
Pleasure to me is wonder—the unexplored, the unexpected, the thing that is hidden and the changeless thing that lurks behind superficial mutability. To trace the remote in the immediate the eternal in the ephemeral the past in the present the infinite in the finite these are to me the springs of delight and beauty.
H. P. Lovecraft
Disintegration is quite painless, I assure you.
H. P. Lovecraft
No one ever wrote a story yet without some real emotional drive behind it--and I have not that drive except where violations of the natural order ... defiances and evasions of time, space, and cosmic law ... are concerned.
H. P. Lovecraft
It is the night-black Massachusetts legendry which packs the really macabre kick. Here is material for a really profound study in group-neuroticism for certainly, no one can deny the existence of a profoundly morbid streak in the Puritan imagination.
H. P. Lovecraft
Nyarlathotep . . . the crawling chaos . . . I am the last . . . I will tell the audient void. . . .
H. P. Lovecraft
What a man does for pay is of little significance. What he is, as a sensitive instrument responsive to the world's beauty, is everything!
H. P. Lovecraft
No new horror can be more terrible than the daily torture of the commonplace.
H. P. Lovecraft
Religion struck me so vague a thing at best, that I could perceive no advantage of any one system over any other.
H. P. Lovecraft
Intellectually, the Republican idea deserves the tolerance and respect one gives to the dead.
H. P. Lovecraft
I am Providence, and Providence is myself - together, indissolubly as one, we stand thro' the ages a fixt monument set aeternally in the shadow of Durfee's ice-clad peak!
H. P. Lovecraft
Vigorous let us be in attaining our ends, and mild in our method of attainment.
H. P. Lovecraft
