Poe is the only impeccable writer. He was never mistaken.

Serious-minded people have few ideas. People with ideas are never serious.

A man is a poet if difficulties inherent in his art provide him with ideas; he is not a poet if they deprive him of ideas.

Man's great misfortune is that he has no organ, no kind of eyelid or brake, to mask or block a thought, or all thought, when he wants to.

A great man is one who leaves others at a loss after he is gone.

I'll never be mistaken for Pat Boone.
