In short, the world abounds with simple delusions which we may call happiness, if we be but able to entertain them.

H. P. Lovecraft
I recognise a distinction between dream life and real life, between appearances and actualities. I confess to an over-powering desire to know whether I am asleep or awake--whether the environment and laws which affect me are external and permanent, or the transitory products of my own brain.
H. P. Lovecraft
Vigorous let us be in attaining our ends, and mild in our method of attainment.
H. P. Lovecraft
Never Explain Anything
H. P. Lovecraft
Creative minds are uneven, and the best of fabrics have their dull spots.
H. P. Lovecraft
The monotony of a long heroic poem may often be pleasantly relieved by judicious interruptions in the perfect successions of rhymes, just as the metre may sometimes be adorned with occasional triplets and Alexandrines.
H. P. Lovecraft
