Edgar Allan Poe quotes

  • The writer who neglects punctuation, or mispunctuates, is liable to be misunderstood for the want of merely a comma, it often occurs that an axiom appears a paradox, or that a sarcasm is converted into a sermonoid.

    - Edgar Allan Poe

  • I became insane, with long intervals of horrible sanity.

    - Edgar Allan Poe

  • There is something in the unselfish and self-sacrificing love of a brute, which goes directly to the heart of him who has had frequent occasion to test the paltry friendship and gossamer fidelity of mere Man.

    - Edgar Allan Poe

  • The nose of a mob is its imagination. By this, at any time, it can be quietly led.

    - Edgar Allan Poe
