Edgar Allan Poe quote

I can't figure out were this came from. Can someone help me out I see it all the time. But don't know the title of story or poem ect. Thanks

"The ninety and nine are with dreams, content but the hope of the world made new, is the hundredth man who is grimly bent on making those dreams come true." Edgar Allan Poe

This passage sounds like his prose and I think you can find it in here.. http://www.eapoe.org/works/editions/eurekac.htm ...somewhere. Good luck. q1

That wasn't correct; the quote comes from one of Poe's "Dreams" manuscripts which is poetry but not accessable, at least not yet.

It's a really pretty quote, though.
