Don’t listen to the black cat…

by zoss in excerpts, books


… I am not more sure that my soul lives, than I am that perverseness is one of the primitive impulses of the human heart — one of the indivisible primary faculties, or sentiments, which give direction to the character of Man. Who has not, a hundred times, found himself committing a vile or a silly action, for no other reason than because he knows he should not?
from The Black Cat, a short story by Edgar Allan Poe. (audio/text — don’t do it!)
