Edgar Allan Poe Quotes About Loneliness
🕳 I remain alone, haunted by my own mind
🕳 Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there, wondering, fearing, doubting
🕳 Those who dream by day are cognizant of many things which escape those who dream only by night
🕳 I have great faith in fools; self-confidence my friends call it
🕳 I became confusing, with long intervals of horrible sanity
🕳 The boundaries which divide life from death are at best shadowy and vague
🕳 All that we see or seem is but a dream within a dream
🕳 I was never really confusing except upon occasions when my heart was touched
🕳 There is no exquisite beauty without some strangeness in the proportion
🕳 The death of a beautiful woman is, unquestionably, the most poetical topic in the world
🕳 Words have no power to impress the mind without the exquisite horror of their reality
🕳 Science has not yet taught us if madness is or is not the sublimity of the intelligence
🕳 To elevate the soul, poetry is essential
🕳 Years of love have been forgot, in the hatred of a minute
🕳 I dread the events of the future, not in themselves but in their results
