Quote by Edgar Allan Poe
After reading all that has been written, and after thinking all that can be thought, on the topics of God and the soul, the man who has a right to say that he thinks at all, will find himself face to face with the conclusion that, on these topics, the most profound thought is that which can be the least easily distinguished from the most superficial sentiment.
Summary
This quote suggests that despite extensive reading and deep contemplation on the subjects of God and the soul, genuine thought on these matters is often indistinguishable from casual sentiment. It implies that even the most profound ideas can sometimes be expressed with simplicity, as the true understanding of these complex topics goes beyond intellectual analysis and approaches the realm of deeply felt emotions and sentiments that are difficult to articulate in words.
