God, Art, and Matt: Story of the Bible; an InfoGraph

Edgar Allan Poe

"Were I called on to define, very briefly, the term Art, I should call it 'the reproduction of what the Senses perceive in Nature through the veil of the soul.' The mere imitation, however accurate, of what is in Nature, entitles no man to the sacred name of 'Artist.'"

"I became insane, with long intervals of horrible sanity."

"A gentleman with a pug nose is a contradiction in terms."

"I have great faith in fools; self-confidence my friends call it."

"There are few cases in which mere popularity should be considered a proper test of merit; but the case of song-writing is, I think, one of the few."
