Edgar Allan Poe Quotes: The Raven
“While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping,
As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door.”
―Edgar Allan Poe, The Raven
“Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there wondering, fearing,
Doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before”
―Edgar Allan Poe, The Raven
“To the fowl whose fiery eyes now burned into my bosom’s core;”
―Edgar Allan Poe, The Raven
“Then this ebony bird beguiling my sad fancy into smiling,
By the grave and stern decorum of the countenance it wore,”
―Edgar Allan Poe, The Raven
“Then, upon the velvet sinking, I betook myself to linking
Fancy unto fancy, thinking what this ominous bird of yore—
What this grim, ungainly, ghastly, gaunt, and ominous bird of yore
Meant in croaking ‘Nevermore.'”
―Edgar Allan Poe, The Raven
“’Be that word our sign in parting, bird or fiend!’” I shrieked, upstarting.”
―Edgar Allan Poe, The Raven
“Get thee back into the tempest and the Night’s Plutonian shore!
Leave no black plume as a token of that lie thy soul hath spoken!
Leave my loneliness unbroken!—quit the bust above my door!
Take thy beak from out my heart, and take thy form from off my door!”
Quoth the Raven “Nevermore.”
―Edgar Allan Poe, The Raven
“And the Raven, never flitting, still is sitting, still is sitting
On the pallid bust of Pallas just above my chamber door”
―Edgar Allan Poe, The Raven
“Quoth the Raven, “Nevermore.”
―Edgar Allan Poe, The Raven

Edgar Allan Poe Quotes The Tell-Tale Heart
“TRUE!—nervous—very, very dreadfully nervous I had been and am; but why will you say that I am mad?”
― Edgar Allan Poe, The Tell-Tale Heart
“The disease had sharpened my senses — not destroyed — not dulled them….I heard all things in the heaven and in the earth.”
― Edgar Allan Poe, The Tell-Tale Heart
“It is impossible to say how first the idea entered my brain; but once conceived, it haunted me day and night.”
― Edgar Allan Poe, The Tell-Tale Heart
“I think it was his eye! yes, it was this! One of his eyes resembled that of a vulture — a pale blue eye, with a film over it. Whenever it fell upon me, my blood ran cold; and so by degrees — very gradually — I made up my mind to take the life of the old man, and thus rid myself of the eye forever.”
― Edgar Allan Poe, The Tell-Tale Heart
“You fancy me mad. Madmen know nothing. But you should have seen me. You should have seen how wisely I proceeded—with what caution—with what foresight— with what dissimulation I went to work! I was never kinder to the old man than during the whole week before I killed him.”
― Edgar Allan Poe, The Tell-Tale Heart
“I undid the lantern cautiously — oh, so cautiously — cautiously (for the hinges creaked) — I undid it just so much that a single thin ray fell upon the vulture eye. And this I did for seven long nights — every night just at midnight — but I found the eye always closed; and so it was impossible to do the work; for it was not the old man who vexed me, but his Evil Eye.”
― Edgar Allan Poe, The Tell-Tale Heart
“If still you think me mad, you will think so no longer when I describe the wise precautions I took for the concealment of the body.”
― Edgar Allan Poe, The Tell-Tale Heart
“Almighty God!—no, no! They heard!—they suspected!—they knew!—they were making a mockery of my horror!—this I thought, and this I think.”
― Edgar Allan Poe, The Tell-Tale Heart
“‘Villains!’ I shrieked, ‘dissemble no more! I admit the deed!—tear up the planks! here, here!—It is the beating of his hideous heart!'”
― Edgar Allan Poe, The Tell-Tale Heart

“At length I would be avenged; this was a point definitely, settled—but the very definitiveness with which it was resolved precluded the idea of risk. I must not only punish but punish with impunity.”

Edgar Allan Poe Quotes The Black Cat
“FOR the most wild, yet most homely narrative which I am about to pen, I neither expect nor solicit belief. Mad indeed would I be to expect it, in a case where my very senses reject their own evidence. Yet, mad am I not — and very surely do I not dream. But to-morrow I die, and to-day I would unburthen my soul.”
― Edgar Allan Poe, The Black Cat
“I blush, I burn, I shudder, while I pen the damnable atrocity.”
― Edgar Allan Poe, The Black Cat
“The fury of a demon instantly possessed me. I knew myself no longer. My original soul seemed, at once, to take its flight from my body; and a more than fiendish malevolence, gin-nurtured, thrilled every fibre of my frame.”
― Edgar Allan Poe, The Black Cat
“Who has not, a hundred times, found himself committing a vile or silly action for no other reason than because he knows he should not?
― Edgar Allan Poe, The Black Cat
“With my aversion to this cat, however, its partiality for myself seemed to increase.”
― Edgar Allan Poe, The Black Cat
“During the former the creature left me no moment alone; and, in the latter, I started, hourly, from dreams of unutterable fear, to find the hot breath of the thing upon my face, and its vast weight — an incarnate Night-Mare that I had no power to shake off — incumbent eternally upon my heart! Beneath the pressure of torments such as these, the feeble remnant of the good within me succumbed.”
― Edgar Allan Poe, The Black Cat
“The corpse, already greatly decayed and clotted with gore, stood erect before the eyes of the spectators. Upon its head, with red extended mouth and solitary eye of fire, sat the hideous beast whose craft had seduced me into murder, and whose informing voice had consigned me to the hangman. I had walled the monster up within the tomb!”

Edgar Allan Poe Quotes Annabel Lee
“The angels, not half so happy in Heaven,
Went envying her and me —
Yes! — that was the reason (as all men know,
In this kingdom by the sea)
That the wind came out of the cloud by night,
Chilling and killing my Annabel Lee.”
― Edgar Allan Poe, Annabel Lee
“And neither the angels in Heaven above,
Nor the demons down under the sea,
Can ever dissever my soul from the soul
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee”
― Edgar Allan Poe, Annabel Lee
“I was a child and she was a child,
In this kingdom by the sea;
But we loved with a love that was more than love —
I and my Annabel Lee”

Edgar Allan Poe Quotes The Murders in the Rue Morgue
“It will be found, in fact, that the ingenious are always fanciful, and the truly imaginative never otherwise than analytic.”
― Edgar Allan Poe, The Rue Morgue
“There are few persons who have not, at some period of their lives, amused themselves in retracing the steps by which particular conclusions of their own minds have been attained. The occupation is often full of interest and he who attempts it for the first time is astonished by the apparently illimitable distance and incoherence between the starting-point and the goal.”
― Edgar Allan Poe, The Rue Morgue
“Books, indeed, were his sole luxuries”
― Edgar Allan Poe, The Rue Morgue
“Coincidences, in general, are great stumbling-blocks in the way of that class of thinkers who have been educated to know nothing of the theory of probabilities—that theory to which the most glorious objects of human research are indebted for the most glorious of illustration.”
― Edgar Allan Poe, The Rue Morgue
“The processes of invention or creation are strictly akin with the processes of resolution — the former being nearly, if not absolutely, the latter conversed.”
― Edgar Allan Poe, The Rue Morgue
“I seemed to be upon the verge of comprehension, without the power to comprehend as men, at time, find themselves upon the brink of rememberance, without being able, in the end, to remember.”
― Edgar Allan Poe, The Rue Morgue
“Let him talk,” said Dupin, who had not thought it necessary to reply. “Let him discourse; it will ease his conscience, I a satisfied with having defeated him in his own castle.”

But a tremulous delight,
And a feeling undefin’d,
Springing from a darken’d mind.”
