“Of our relation to all creation we can never know anything whatsoever. All is immensity and chaos. But, since all this knowledge of our limitations cannot possibly be of any value to us, it is better to ignore it in our daily conduct of life.”

American writer

H. P. Lovecraft was an American writer of weird fiction, horror, fantasy, and science fiction. He became a central figure in twentieth-century horror and is best known for creating the Cthulhu Mythos. His work helped shape modern supernatural horror, and his name now appears in the phrase "Lovecraftian horror," used for stories marked by cosmic dread and strange, ancient forces. His influence has lasted well beyond his own lifetime, and he remains a widely read and discussed figure in speculative fiction.
