More quotes by H. P. Lovecraft
Creative minds are uneven, and the best of fabrics have their dull spots.
H. P. Lovecraft
Race prejudice is a gift of nature, intended to preserve in purity the various divisions of mankind which the ages have evolved.
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
Almost nobody dances sober, unless they happen to be insane.
H. P. Lovecraft
The oldest and strongest emotion of mankind is fear, and the oldest and strongest kind of fear is fear of the unknown
H. P. Lovecraft
Life is a hideous thing.
H. P. Lovecraft
Wise men have interpreted dreams, and the gods have laughed.
H. P. Lovecraft
I have harnessed the shadows that stride from world to world to sow death and madness.
H. P. Lovecraft
Science, already oppressive with its shocking revelations, will perhaps be the ultimate exterminator of our human species - if separate species we be - for its reserve of unguessed horrors could never be borne by mortal brains if loossed upon the world.
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
The basis of all true cosmic horror is violation of the order of nature, and the profoundest violations are always the least concrete and describable.
H. P. Lovecraft
Most of my monsters fail altogether to satisfy my sense of the cosmic - the abnormally chromatic entity in The Colour Out of Space being the only one of the lot which I take any pride in.
H. P. Lovecraft
We shall see that at which dogs howl in the dark, and that at which cats prick up their ears after midnight.
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
It is better to laugh at man from outside the universe, than to weep for him within.
H. P. Lovecraft
Ultimate horror often paralyses memory in a merciful way.
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
Life is not the unique property of Earth. Nor is life in the shape of human beings. Life takes many forms on other planets and far stars, forms that would seem bizarre to humans, as human life is bizarre to other life-forms.
H. P. Lovecraft
Blue, green, grey, white, or black smooth, ruffled, or mountainous that ocean is not silent.
H. P. Lovecraft
In relating the circumstances which have led to my confinement within this refuge for the demented, I am aware that my present position will create a natural doubt of the authenticity of my narrative.
H. P. Lovecraft
