H. P. Lovecraft

H. P. Lovecraft
Toil without song is like a weary journey without an end.
H. P. Lovecraft

H. P. Lovecraft
You see them? You see the things that float and flop about you and through you ever moment of your life? You see the creatures that form what men call the pure air and the blue sky? Have I not succeeded in breaking down the barrier have I not shown you worlds that no other living men have seen?
H. P. Lovecraft
Vigorous let us be in attaining our ends, and mild in our method of attainment.
H. P. Lovecraft
I have never been able to soothe myself with the sugary delusions of religion for these things stand convicted of the utmost absurdity in light of modern scientific knowledge.
H. P. Lovecraft
It is better to laugh at man from outside the universe, than to weep for him within.
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
There are black zones of shadow close to our daily paths, and now and then some evil soul breaks a passage through. When that happens, the man who knows must strike before reckoning the consequences.
