More quotes by Robert E. Howard

Robert E. Howard
Before the invader sound was born, the Universe was silent and shall be again.
Robert E. Howard
I have not been a success, and probably never will be.
Robert E. Howard
A woman in such an emotional tempest is as perilous as a blind cobra to any about her.
Robert E. Howard

Robert E. Howard
It is better to go in the dark when the road must pass a lion and there is no other road.
Robert E. Howard

Robert E. Howard
Animals are neither gods nor fiends, but men in their way without the lust and greed of man.
Robert E. Howard
When a nation forgets her skill in war, when her religion becomes a mockery, when the whole nation becomes a nation of money-grabbers, then the wild tribes, the barbarians drive in... Who will our invaders be? From whence will they come?
Robert E. Howard
One man's bane is another's bliss.
Robert E. Howard

Robert E. Howard
What always was must always be.
Robert E. Howard
Youngsters of this generation seem not quite so hazardous except in the way of mechanical speed, bad liquor and venereal diseases.
Robert E. Howard
Money and muscle, that's what I want to be able to do any damned thing I want and get away with it. Money won't do that altogether, because if a man is a weakling, all the money in the world won't enable him to soak an enemy himself on the other hand, unless he has money he may not be able to get away with it.
Robert E. Howard
My body seems a mere encumbrance to me an imbecillic wagon, hitched to the horse of desire, which is the soul.
Robert E. Howard
It is not pleasant to come upon Death in a lonely place at midnight.
Robert E. Howard
Hither came Conan, the Cimmerian, black-haired, sullen-eyed, sword in hand, a thief, a reaver, a slayer, with gigantic melancholies and gigantic mirth, to tread the jeweled thrones of the Earth under his sandaled feet.
Robert E. Howard
