With me poetry has not been a purpose, but a passion. - Edgar Allan Poe

"I have no faith in human perfectibility. I think that human exertion will have no appreciable effect upon humanity. Man is now only more active - not more happy - nor more wise, than he was 6000 years ago."

"The best things in life make you sweaty."

"The idea of God, infinity, or spirit stands for the possible attempt at an impossible conception."

"The boundaries which divide Life from Death are at best shadowy and vague. Who shall say where the one ends, and where the other begins?"

"And all I loved, I loved alone."
