Friday the 13th, an appropriate day for my favorite quote from The Office:
"I'm not superstitious. But I am a LITTLE stitious." —Michael Scott
And if you are a little stitious, you might appreciate a few thoughts -- witty, insightful and disturbing -- from Edgar Allan Poe:
"I became insane, with long intervals of horrible sanity."
"I have great faith in fools; self-confidence my friends call it."
"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?"
"Those who dream by day are cognizant of many things which escape those who dream only at night."
"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.'"
"With me poetry has not been a purpose, but a passion."

I enjoyed the quotes. The Office is funny.
Your first quote from Poe reminds me of one by the American pianist, composer, actor and author, Oscar Levant (1906-1972): "There is a fine line between genius and insanity. I have erased that line."
