Daily Literature Quotes

[AWA1997]

Here's my first submission. From my favorite poet and my favorite work of said poet.

"TRUE! --nervous --very, very dreadfully nervous I had been and am; but why will you say that I am mad? The disease had sharpened my senses --not destroyed --not dulled them. Above all was the sense of hearing acute. I heard all things in the heaven and in the earth. I heard many things in hell. How, then, am I mad? Hearken! and observe how healthily --how calmly I can tell you the whole story."

-Edgar Allan Poe, The Tell-Tale Heart.

As for the quote of the day, I have to agree with Jan's assessment of it. Nothing more to say, I just agree with her on it.

Submission added but, like I said to the others, I'd prefer it to be PMed to me. You can even do it via New Worlds if that's easier. And try not to double post from now on. I fixed it for you because I know you probably didn't mean to but take this as a warning.
