Edgar Allan Poe
“Beauty of whatever kind, in its supreme development, invariably excites the sensitive soul to tears.”
“Stupidity is a talent for misconception.”
“I have great faith in fools; self-confidence my friends call it.”
“There is no exquisite beauty… without some strangeness in the proportion.”
“Believe nothing you hear, and only one half that you see.”
“Words have no power to impress the mind without the exquisite horror of their reality.”
“The boundaries which divide Life from Death are at best shadowy and vague.”
“Those who dream by day are cognizant of many things which escape those who dream only by night.”
“We loved with a love that was more than love.”
“I became insane, with long intervals of horrible sanity.”
“All that we see or seem is but a dream within a dream.”
