H. P. Lovecraft

“I am Providence.”
“Memory sometimes makes merciful deletions.”
“I never ask a man what his business is, for it never interests me. What I ask him about are his thoughts and dreams.”
“The world is indeed comic, but the joke is on mankind.”
“From even the greatest of horrors irony is seldom absent.”
“The most merciful thing in the world is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents.”
“That is not dead which can eternal lie, And with strange aeons even death may die.”
“The oldest and strongest emotion of mankind is fear, and the oldest and strongest kind of fear is fear of the unknown.”
