The Wisdom of Edgar Allan Poe

  • Grammar is the analysis of language.

  • I have great fiath in fools- self-confidence, my friends wil call it.

  • Perverseness is one of the primitive impulses of the human heart.

  • Man's real life is hapy, chiefly because he is ever expecting that it soon will be so.

  • Years of love have been forgotten in the hatred of a minute.

  • Unthought-like thougths are the souls of thougth.

  • Whenever, on account of its vagueness, I am dissatisfied with a conception of the brain , I resort forthwith to the pen for the purpose of obtaining , throug its aid, the necessary form, consequence and precision.

  • Experience has shown, and a true philosophy will always show, that a vast, perhaps the larger, portion of the truth arises from the seemingly irrelevant.

  • The play is the tragedy, MAN , and its hero the conqueror, Worm.
