Here are some quotes from his famous poem Raven. "Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there, wondering fearing , doubting , dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream - Edgar Allan Poe" "The Raven" . "Those who dream by day are cognizant of many things which escape those who dream only by night."  But his most famous quote is "We loved with a love that was more than love." He has lots of touching deep dark quotes such as , "We loved with a love that was more than love.

Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there, wondering, fearing, doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before.

I became insane, with long intervals of horrible sanity.

Quoth the raven, "Nevermore!"

Those who dream by day are cognizant of many things which escape those who dream only by night.

All that we see or seem is but a dream within a dream.

The boundaries which divide Life from Death are at best shadowy and vague. Who shall say where the one ends, and where the other begins?

Ah, distinctly I remember it was in the bleak December; And each separate dying ember wrought its ghost upon the floor.

All religion, my friend, is simply evolved out of fraud, fear, greed, imagination, and poetry.

And my soul from out that shadow that lies floating on the floor Shall be lifted — nevermore!"
