Quote by Edgar Allan Poe

"I have absolutely no pleasure in the stimulants in which I sometimes so madly indulge. It has not been in the pursuit of pleasure that I have periled life and health and fortune and friends."

"I am nothing special, of this I am sure. I am a common man with common thoughts and I've led a common life."

"Sleep, those little slices of death - how I loathe them."

"We loved with a love that was more than love."

"The pen is mightier than the sword."

"Literature opens the mind to new worlds"

"The interesting thing about books is that they're made of words."

"Literature captures the essence of what it means to be human."
