More quotes by Robert E. Howard
The poem you sent me was as fiery and virile as anything you've ever written - or anybody else, for that matter. Especially the second part went to my brain like the flaming liquor of insanity. No one else besides Jack London has the power to move me just that way.
Robert E. Howard
While we may open the books of the past, we may but grant flying glances of the future, through the mist that veils it.
Robert E. Howard
What is death but a traversing of eternities and a crossing of cosmic oceans?
Robert E. Howard
The sea-road is good for wanderers and landless men. There is quenching of thirst on the grey paths of the winds, and the flying clouds to still the sting of lost dreams.

Robert E. Howard
It is not pleasant to come upon Death in a lonely place at midnight.
Robert E. Howard
Civilization is a network and a maze of precedences and custom.
Robert E. Howard
It seems to me that many writers, by virtue of environments of culture, art and education, slip into writing because of their environments.
Robert E. Howard
Life is but a web spun of ghosts and dreams and illusions.
Robert E. Howard
I had neither expert aid nor advice. I studied no courses in writing until a year or so ago, I never read a book by anybody advising writers how to write.
Robert E. Howard
Before the invader sound was born, the Universe was silent and shall be again.
Robert E. Howard
A kingdom is not lost by a single defeat.
Robert E. Howard
Animals are neither gods nor fiends, but men in their way without the lust and greed of man.
Robert E. Howard
