The Poe Consequence QUOTES

1 " He tried to get drunk, “to forget about life for awhile,” as that old
Billy Joel song once said, but the scotch couldn't anesthetize his pain
and provide a retreat from the reality of his latest failures. "

― Keith Steinbaum , The Poe Consequence

2 " I started to drink heavily, comfortably caught in the tentacle-like clutches of alcohol. "

― Keith Steinbaum , The Poe Consequence

3 " We did a Tarot
card reading. She told me different things, most of them depressing and
worth forgetting. But what I'll always remember is her prediction of my
death, and how I'd become a kind of ghost, ‘wandering’ she said, with a
‘spiritual restlessness’. "

― Keith Steinbaum , The Poe Consequence

4 " He didn’t like the idea of leaving unfinished business behind. He had wanted definite answers about the heart attacks to be able to turn the page on who or what caused so many of his brothers to die. "

― Keith Steinbaum , The Poe Consequence

5 " One of his eyes resembled that of a vulture; A pale blue eye with a film over it. "

― Keith Steinbaum , The Poe Consequence

6 " Many of us are driven to write through experiences born from pain, generating a need to uniquely express our own inner turmoil. Light-hearted inspiration is certainly an enviable reason to tap into one’s creative juices, but those feelings don’t stimulate the
kinds of thoughts that lodge within me and grow in complexity. I can pinpoint a tragic,
life-changing event occurring in my mid-teens that transformed me into a writer, and
it seems that the weightier side of life continues to be my motivation. "

― Keith Steinbaum , The Poe Consequence
