Hello all,
I'm trying to put together a collection of the best Poe quotes. If anyone would like to add on to some that I have here please do, but be sure to say what text or story it is from. I'm hoping someone can help me come up some good ones, that most people would recognize. Here are the ones I have so far if you know the text for these let me know.
Thanks,
Meg

"All that we see or seem, is but a dream within a dream"
"We loved with a love that was more than love"
"I have great faith in fools; self-confidence my friends call it."
"That man is not truly brave who is afraid either to seem or to be, when it suits him, a coward."

Off hand the quote "We loved with a love that was more than love" is from the lovely poem Annabel Lee

I know this sounds bad but I can relate to the first one. I'm a bloody perfectionist and heaven forbid that I can't excel at what I want.
Thanks,

Sorry To anyone who gets on here. I just saw the typo in the thread title. So I would like to say I suck to misspell Edgar since he is one of my favorite authors.

"Man is only now more active, not more happy- nor more wise, than he was 6,000 years ago." May not be exact, but close.

I think this one is rather nice:

"And all my days are trances- And all my nightly dreams
Are where thy dark eye glances- And where thy footstep gleams—
In what ethereal dances- By what eternal streams."
