More quotes by H. P. Lovecraft
I have harnessed the shadows that stride from world to world to sow death and madness.
H. P. Lovecraft
There are horrors beyond life's edge that we do not suspect, and once in a while man's evil prying calls them just within our range.
H. P. Lovecraft
The moon is dark, and the gods dance in the night there is terror in the sky, for upon the moon hath sunk an eclipse foretold in no books of men or of earth's gods.
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
So far as English versification is concerned, Pope was the world, and all the world was Pope.
H. P. Lovecraft
My opinion of my whole experience varies from time to 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
No new horror can be more terrible than the daily torture of the commonplace.
H. P. Lovecraft
The process of delving into the black abyss is to me the keenest form of fascination.
H. P. Lovecraft
I felt myself on the edge of the world peering over the rim into a fathomless chaos of eternal night.
H. P. Lovecraft
Only poetry or madness could do justice to the noises.
H. P. Lovecraft
Searchers after horror haunt strange, far places.
H. P. Lovecraft
And where Nyarlathotep went, rest vanished, for the small hours were rent with the screams of nightmare.
H. P. Lovecraft
Yog-Sothoth knows the gate. Yog-Sothoth is the gate. Yog-Sothoth is the key and guardian of the gate. Past, present, future, all are one in Yog-Sothoth.
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
There are probably seven persons, in all, who really like my work and they are enough. I should write even if I were the only patient reader, for my aim is merely self-expression.
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.
H. P. Lovecraft
Man is an essentially superstitious and fearful animal. Take away the herd's Christian gods and saints and they will without failing come to worship...something else.
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
Vigorous let us be in attaining our ends, and mild in our method of attainment.
H. P. Lovecraft
