"The boundaries which divide life from death are at best shadowy and vague. Who shall say where one ends, and the other begins?"
-Edgar Allen Poe
Edgar Allen Poe was born January 19, 1809 and died October 7, 1949. He was known for writing short stories and poetry, of a dark nature, particularly death. He was the first well-known American writer to try to earn a living through writing alone.
This quote expresses how I think each day. I can relate to this comparision of life and death, because I can not tell the difference. I can not distinguish if I am alive, or if what I think is life is actually death. How do you know? Poe expressed his feelings on this intriguing aspect of the mind, and that is why this quote has to be my favorite.
