There are black zones of shadow close to our daily paths, and now and then some evil soul breaks a passage through. When that happens, the man who knows must strike before reckoning the consequences. H. P. Lovecraft
H. P. Lovecraft quote: "If I am mad, it is mercy! May the gods pity the man who in his..."
If I am mad, it is mercy! May the gods pity the man who in his callousness can remain sane to the hideous end! H. P. Lovecraft

When Randolph Carter was thirty he lost the key of the gate of dreams. H. P. Lovecraft
I have an odd craving to whisper about those few frightful hours in that ill-rumoured and evilly shadowed seaport of death and blasphemous abnormality. H. P. Lovecraft
That is what they say I said when they found me in the blackness after three hours; found me crouching in the blackness over the plump, half-eaten body of Capt.

I fear my enthusiasm flags when real work is demanded of me. H. P. Lovecraft

Ultimate horror often paralyses memory in a merciful way. H. P. Lovecraft
We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was not meant that we should voyage far. H. P. Lovecraft
