"I have great faith in fools - self-confidence my friends will call it."
"I have no desire to be famous. I have a desire to be read."
"It is an evil growing out of our republican institutions, that here a man of large purse has usually a very little soul which he keeps in it."
"The nose of a mob is its imagination. By this, at any time, it can be quietly led."
"The world is a theatre, and we are merely players."
American Gothic poet and short-story writer who invented the detective story (Murders in the Rue Morgue) and shaped horror literature. Closely associated with Nathaniel Hawthorne (fellow American Gothic) and Charles Baudelaire (his French translator and torch-bearer). For an intellectual contrast, see Ralph Waldo Emerson, Transcendentalist optimist of self-reliance — Poe wrote essays attacking the entire Transcendentalist circle as didactic and intellectually thin — he derisively called them 'Frogpondians' and treated their cheerful mysticism as the literary opposite of his macabre realism.
A character name in one of Poe's early comic tales.
