"If you wish to forget anything on the spot, make a note that this thing is to be remembered."
Edgar Allan Poe
"Misery is manifold. The wretchedness of earth is multiform. Overreaching the wide horizon as the rainbow, its hues are as various as the hues of that arch, --as distinct too, yet as intimately blended. Overreaching the wide horizon as the rainbow! How is it that from beauty I have derived a type of unloveliness? --from the covenant of peace a simile of sorrow? But as, in ethics, evil is a consequence of good, so, in fact, out of joy is sorrow born. Either the memory of past bliss is the anguish of to-day, or the agonies which are have their origin in the ecstasies which might have been."
Edgar Allan Poe
"The eye, like a shattered mirror, multiplies the images of sorrow."
Edgar Allan Poe
"How had I deserved to be so blessed by such confessions? —how had I deserved to be so cursed with the removal of my beloved in the hour of her making them, But upon this subject I cannot bear to dilate."

Edgar Allan Poe
"I do believe God gave me a spark of genius, but he quenched it in misery."
Edgar Allan Poe
"I have absolutely no pleasure in the stimulants in which I sometimes so madly indulge. It has not been in the pursuit of pleasure that I have periled life and reputation and reason. It has been the desperate attempt to escape from torturing memories, from a sense of insupportable loneliness and a dread of some strange impending doom."
Edgar Allan Poe
"Men have called me mad; but the question is not yet settled, whether madness is or is not the loftiest intelligence."
Edgar Allan Poe
"When, indeed, men speak of Beauty, they mean, precisely, not a quality, as is supposed, but an effect - they refer, in short, just to that intense and pure elevation of soul - not of intellect, or of heart."
Edgar Allan Poe
"Beauty of whatever kind, in its supreme development, invariably excites the sensitive soul to tears."
Edgar Allan Poe
"There is no exquisite beauty… without some strangeness in the proportion."
Edgar Allan Poe
"The ninety and nine are with dreams, content, but the hope of the world made new, is the hundredth man who is grimly bent on making those dreams come true."
