Edgar Allan Poe is one of my favorite writers. He lived a troubled life, overtaken by his demons: drinking, gambling, and a brooding darkness brought on by the death of his wife. Here are some quotes attributed to the literary genius:
-
All that we see or seem is but a dream within a dream.
-
I became insane with long intervals of horrible sanity.
-
Words have no power to impress the mind without the exquisite horror of reality.
-
They who dream by day are cognizant of many things which escape those who dream only by night.
-
Stupidity is a talent for misconception.
-
With me poetry has not been a purpose, but a passion.
-
I wish I could write as mysterious as a cat.
-
We loved with a love that was more than love.
