Hello!
Well I have just recently started collecting quotes and a friend of mine suggested that I take a look at H.P. Lovecraft. I havent read anything just yet, I'm waiting for second opinions and I wanted to know if (besides their thoughts on his work.) What their favorite quote by him is.
I think I'd have to say mine is..
Men of broader intellect know that there is no sharp distinction betwixt the real and the unreal..-H.P. Lovecraft "The Tomb"

It's a bit long as a quote, but for me, this epitomises everything I love about Lovecraft's writing and style:
"There were, in such voyages, incalculable local dangers; as well as that shocking final peril which gibbers unmentionably outside the ordered universe, where no dreams reach; that last amorphous blight of nethermost confusion which blasphemes and bubbles at the centre of all infinity - the boundless daemon sultan Azathoth, whose name no lips dare speak aloud, and who gnaws hungrily in inconceivable, unlighted chambers beyond time amidst the muffled, maddening beating of vile drums and the thin, monotonous whine of accursed flutes; to which detestable pounding and piping dance slowly , awkwardly, and absurdly the gigantic Ultimate gods, the blind, voiceless, tenebrous, mindless Other gods whose soul and messenger is the crawling chaos Nyarlathotep." ~ H.P Lovecraft, The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath
