Books, indeed, were his sole luxuries

Democracy is a very admirable form of government - for dogs

Edgar Poe 448 quotes

There are few persons who have not, at some period of their lives, amused themselves in retracing the steps by which particular conclusions of their own minds have been attained. The occupation is often full of interest and he who attempts it for the first time is astonished by the apparently illimitable distance and incoherence between the starting-point and the goal.

Me volvГ­ loco, con largos intervalos de horrible cordura.

Edgar Poe 448 quotes

And then there stole into my fancy, like a rich musical note, the thought of what sweet rest there must be in the grave.

Tell me truly, I implore-- Is there-- is there balm in Gilead?--tell me--tell me, I implore!

Edgar Poe 448 quotes

For my own part, I have never ...

For my own part, I have never had a thought which I could not set down in words, with even more distinctness than that with which I conceived it.

Edgar Poe 448 quotes

Yet I am not more sure that my soul lives, than I am that perverseness is one of the primitive impulses of the human heart - one of the indivisible primary faculties, or sentiments, which give direction to the character of Man. Who has not, a hundred times, found himself committing a vile or a silly action, for no other reason than because he knows he should not? Have we not a perpetual inclination, in the teeth of our best judgment, to violate that which is Law, merely because we understand it to be such?

In visions of the dark night I have dreamed of joy departed-- But a waking dream of life and light Hath left me broken-hearted.

Edgar Poe 448 quotes

Deep into that darkness peerin...

Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there wondering, fearing, Doubting, dreaming dreams no mortals ever dared to dream before; But the silence was unbroken, and the stillness gave no token, And the only word there spoken was the whispered word, 'Lenore?' This I whispered, and an echo murmured back the word, 'Lenore!' Ђ' Merely this, and nothing more

the truth is, I am heartily sick of this life & of the nineteenth century in general. (I am convinced that every thing is going wrong.)

The fever called 'living' Is conquer'd at last.

Edgar Poe 448 quotes

Once upon a midnight dreary, w...

Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary, Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore--While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping, As if some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door. ''Tis some visitor,' I muttered, 'tapping at my chamber door--Only this and nothing more.

Edgar Poe 448 quotes

And much of Madness, and more of Sin,
And Horror the soul of the plot.

Edgar Poe 448 quotes

If any ambitious man have a fa...

If any ambitious man have a fancy to revolutionize, at one effort, the universal world of human thought, human opinion, and human sentiment, the opportunity is his own -- the road to immortal renown lies straight, open, and unencumbered before him. All that he has to do is to write and publish a very little book. Its title should be simple -- a few plain words -- My Heart Laid Bare. But -- this little book must be true to its title.

Yet I am not more sure that my soul lives, than I am that perverseness is one of the primitive impulses of the human heartone of the indivisible primary faculties, or sentiments, which give direction to the character of Man.

Edgar Poe 448 quotes

The greater amount of truth is...

The greater amount of truth is impulsively uttered; thus the greater amount is spoken, not written.

Edgar Poe 448 quotes

Perched upon a bust of Pallas,...

Perched upon a bust of Pallas, just above my chamber door,- Perched, and sat, and nothing more.

Edgar Poe 448 quotes

The word 'Verse' is used her...

The word 'Verse' is used here as the term most convenient for expressing, and without pedantry, all that is involved in the consideration of rhythm, rhyme, meter, and versification... the subject is exceedingly simple; one tenth of it, possibly may be called ethical; nine tenths, however, appertains to the mathematics.

Edgar Poe 448 quotes

We now demand the light artill...

We now demand the light artillery of the intellect; we need the curt, the condensed, the pointed, the readily diffused - in place of the verbose, the detailed, the voluminous, the inaccessible. On the other hand, the lightness of the artillery should not degenerate into pop-gunnery - by which term we may designate the character of the greater portion of the newspaper press - their sole legitimate object being the discussion of ephemeral matters in an ephemeral manner.
