Lovecraft says he knows about tentacles
but that motherfucker never bedded a girl from
West Chester
and survived
She was a toothache
that one
and she tasted like crack
the best thing about her
was if I was ever hungry
I could always make a meal out of whatever
was making rest at the corners of her mouth
I can't remember her name
as is the case with most of them
then again I can't remember
how many donuts I ate this morning
or how many beers I'll drink tonight,
tomorrow ~ Dave Matthes
Hp Lovecraft quotes by Dave Matthes
H.P. Lovecraft is a self-admitted early influence on Ligotti's work. However, in a kind of metaphysical horror story of its own, Ligotti early on subsumed Lovecraft and left his dry husk behind, having taken what sustenance he needed for his own devices. (Most other writers are, by contrast, consumed by Lovecraft when they attempt to devour him.) ~ Jeff VanderMeer
Hp Lovecraft quotes by Jeff VanderMeer
The monotony of a long heroic poem may often be pleasantly relieved by judicious interruptions in the perfect succession of rhymes, just as the metre may sometimes be adorned with occasional triplets and Alexandrines. ~ H.P. Lovecraft
Hp Lovecraft quotes by H.P. Lovecraft
Atmosphere, not action, is the great desideratum of weird fiction. Indeed, all that a wonder story can ever be is a vivid picture of a certain type of human mood. ~ H.P. Lovecraft
Hp Lovecraft quotes by H.P. Lovecraft
I am about to break into a dimension of the impossible. To enter this realm., I must set my mind (hypnotize myself) free from the earthly fetters that bind it. If the events to witness are unbelievable, it is only because my imagination is chained. So I now sit back, relax, and believe...so that I may cross the brink of time and space...into that land we sometimes visit in our dreams -- my horrific forsaken dreams. ~ Chris Mentillo
Hp Lovecraft quotes by Chris Mentillo
And as I ran along the shore, crushing sleeping flowers with heedless feet and maddened ever by the fear of unknown things and the lure of the dead faces, I saw that the garden had no end under that moon; for where by day the walls were, there stretched now only new vistas of trees and paths, flowers and shrubs, stone idols and pagodas, and bendings of the yellow-litten stream past grassy banks and under grotesque bridges of marble. And the lips of the dead lotos-faces whispered sadly, and bade me follow, nor did I cease my steps till the stream became a river, and joined amidst marshes of swaying reeds and beaches of gleaming sand the shore of a vast and nameless sea. Upon ~ H.P. Lovecraft
Hp Lovecraft quotes by H.P. Lovecraft
Who are we to combat poisons older than history and mankind? ~ H.P. Lovecraft
Hp Lovecraft quotes by H.P. Lovecraft
This man bore no resemblance to the bearded, grizzled Akeley of the snapshot; but was a younger and more urban person, fashionably dressed, and wearing only a small, dark moustache. ~ H.P. Lovecraft
Hp Lovecraft quotes by H.P. Lovecraft
Certainly, we were in one of the strangest, weirdest, and most terrible of all the corners of earth's globe. ~ H.P. Lovecraft
Hp Lovecraft quotes by H.P. Lovecraft
In its flawless grace and superior self-sufficiency I have seen a symbol of the perfect beauty and bland impersonality of the universe itself, objectively considered, and in its air of silent mystery there resides for me all the wonder and fascination of the unknown. ~ H.P. Lovecraft
Hp Lovecraft quotes by H.P. Lovecraft
Nothing matters, but it's perhaps more comfortable to keep calm and not interfere with other people. ~ H.P. Lovecraft
Hp Lovecraft quotes by H.P. Lovecraft
Nothing is so intimately a part of a man as his library. It contains just what the possessor wants to look at most often, and comes to form his window or gateway to the larger cosmos. ~ H.P. Lovecraft
Hp Lovecraft quotes by H.P. Lovecraft
You see them? You see the things that float and flop about you and through you ever moment of your life? You see the creatures that form what men call the pure air and the blue sky? Have I not succeeded in breaking down the barrier; have I not shown you worlds that no other living men have seen? ~ H.P. Lovecraft
Hp Lovecraft quotes by H.P. Lovecraft
If religion were true, its followers would not try to bludgeon their young into an artificial conformity; but would merely insist on their unbending quest for truth, irrespective of artificial backgrounds or practical consequences. ~ H.P. Lovecraft
Hp Lovecraft quotes by H.P. Lovecraft
I've been a Fellow in a number of companies: Xerox, Apple, Disney, HP. There are certain similarities because all the Fellows programs were derived from IBM's, which itself was derived from the MIT 'Institute Professor' program. ~ Alan Kay
Hp Lovecraft quotes by Alan Kay
It lumbered slobberingly into sight and gropingly squeezed Its gelatinous green immensity through the black doorway into the tainted outside air of that poison city of madness. ... The Thing cannot be described - there is no language for such abysms of shrieking and immemorial lunacy, such eldritch contradictions of all matter, force, and cosmic order. ~ H.P. Lovecraft
Hp Lovecraft quotes by H.P. Lovecraft
Maybe, just maybe, I should not have used the word "eldritch" so many times now that I think about it ... ~ H.P. Lovecraft
Hp Lovecraft quotes by H.P. Lovecraft
Unhappy is he to whom the memories of childhood bring only fear and sadness. ~ H.P. Lovecraft
Hp Lovecraft quotes by H.P. Lovecraft
Bunch together a group of people deliberately chosen for strong religious feelings, and you have a practical guarantee of dark morbidities expressed in crime, perversion, and insanity. ~ H.P. Lovecraft
Hp Lovecraft quotes by H.P. Lovecraft
And as the wind died away I was plunged into the ghoul-pooled darkness of earth's bowels; for behind the last of the creatures the great brazen door clanged shut with a deafening peal of metallic music whose reverberations swelled out to the distant world to hail the rising sun as Memnon hails it from the banks of the Nile. ~ H.P. Lovecraft
Hp Lovecraft quotes by H.P. Lovecraft
I have never been able to soothe myself with the sugary delusions of religion; for these things stand convicted of the utmost absurdity in light of modern scientific knowledge. ~ H.P. Lovecraft
Hp Lovecraft quotes by H.P. Lovecraft
Great Cyclopean cities of titan blocks and sky-flung monoliths, all dripping with green ooze and sinister with latent horror. ~ H.P. Lovecraft
Hp Lovecraft quotes by H.P. Lovecraft
The reason why time plays a great part in so many of my tales is that this element looms up in my mind as the most profoundly dramatic and grimly terrible thing in the universe. ~ H.P. Lovecraft
Hp Lovecraft quotes by H.P. Lovecraft
The trees grew too thickly, and their trunks were too big for any healthy New England wood. There was too much silence in the dim alleys between them. ~ H.P. Lovecraft
Hp Lovecraft quotes by H.P. Lovecraft
I have dwelt ever in realms apart from the visible world; spending my youth and adolescence in ancient and little-known books, and in roaming the fields and groves of the region near my ancestral home. I do not think that what I read in these books or saw in these fields and groves was exactly what other boys read and saw there; but of this I must say little, since detailed speech would but confirm those cruel slanders upon my intellect which I sometimes overhear from the whispers of the stealthy attendants around me. ~ H.P. Lovecraft
Hp Lovecraft quotes by H.P. Lovecraft
I am distinctly opposed to visibly arrogant and arbitrary extremes of government
but this is simply because I wish the safety of an artistic and intellectual civilisation to be secure, not because I have any sympathy with the coarse-grained herd who would menace the civilisation if not placated by sops. ~ H.P. Lovecraft
Hp Lovecraft quotes by H.P. Lovecraft
My searchlight expired, but still I ran. I heard voices, and yowls, and echoes, but above all there gently rose that impious, insidious scurrying, gently rising, rising as a stiff bloated corpse gently rises above an oily river that flows under endless onyx bridges to a black putrid sea. Something bumped into me - something soft and plump. It must have been the rats; the viscous, gelatinous, ravenous army that feast on the dead and the living ... ~ H.P. Lovecraft
Hp Lovecraft quotes by H.P. Lovecraft
For he who passes the gateways always wins a shadow, and never again can he be alone. I ~ H.P. Lovecraft
Hp Lovecraft quotes by H.P. Lovecraft
Because, you see, everything you know about the way this universe works is correct - except for the little problem that this isn't the only universe we have to worry about. Information can leak between one universe and another. And in a vanishingly small number of the other universes there are things that listen, and talk back - see Al-Hazred, Nietzsche, Lovecraft, Poe, et cetera. The many-angled ones, as they say, live at the bottom of the Mandelbrot set, except when a suitable incantation in the platonic realm of mathematics - computerised or otherwise - draws them forth. (And you thought running that fractal screen-saver was good for your computer?) ~ Charles Stross
Hp Lovecraft quotes by Charles Stross
I tend to look way back for my inspiration: H.P. Lovecraft, Edgar Allen Poe. ~ Drew Daywalt
Hp Lovecraft quotes by Drew Daywalt
I like coffee exceedingly... ~ H.P. Lovecraft
Hp Lovecraft quotes by H.P. Lovecraft
Whoever acknowledges all the Imams (PBUT), but denies the existence of the Mahdi, is like the one who acknowledges all the prophets but denies the prophet-hood of Muhammad (PBUH&HP) ~ Imam Saadeq PBUH
Hp Lovecraft quotes by Imam Saadeq PBUH
Some of them stole off to those cryptical realms which are known only to cats and which villagers say are on the moon's dark side, whither the cats leap from tall housetops; but one small black kitten crept upstairs and sprang in Carter's lap to purr and play, and curled up near his feet when he lay down at last on the little couch whose pillows were stuffed with fragrant drowsy herbs. ~ H.P. Lovecraft
Hp Lovecraft quotes by H.P. Lovecraft
The Old Ones were, the Old Ones are, and the Old Ones shall be. Not in the spaces we know, but between them. They walk serene and primal, undimensioned and to us unseen. ~ H.P. Lovecraft
Hp Lovecraft quotes by H.P. Lovecraft
But the ship swept on, and the dusk hushed the hum of the day, and the first stars above blinked answers to the early fireflies on the banks as that jungle fell far behind, leaving only its fragrance as a memory that it had been. ~ H.P. Lovecraft
Hp Lovecraft quotes by H.P. Lovecraft
I do not think that any realism is beautiful. ~ H.P. Lovecraft
Hp Lovecraft quotes by H.P. Lovecraft
They were large, even for the mus decumanus, which sometimes measures fifteen inches in length, ~ H.P. Lovecraft
Hp Lovecraft quotes by H.P. Lovecraft
Everything I loved had been dead for two centuries
or, as in the case of Graeco-Roman classicism, for two milenniums. I am never a part of anything around me
in everything I am an outsider. Should I find it possible to crawl backward through the Halls of Time to that age which is nearest my own fancy, I should doubtless be bawled out of the coffee-houses for heresy in religion, or else lampooned by John Dennis till I found refuge in the deep, silent Thames, that covers many another unfortunate. ~ H.P. Lovecraft
Hp Lovecraft quotes by H.P. Lovecraft
In theory I am an agnostic, but pending the appearance of rational evidence, I must be classed, practically and provisionally, as an atheist. ~ H.P. Lovecraft
Hp Lovecraft quotes by H.P. Lovecraft
a new chill from afar out whither the condor had flown, as if my flesh had caught a horror before my eyes had seen it. Nor ~ H.P. Lovecraft
Hp Lovecraft quotes by H.P. Lovecraft
God! What wonder that across the earth a great architect went mad, ~ H.P. Lovecraft
