More quotes by Robert E. Howard
The printed page was like wine to me.
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
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
I see in the papers where Roy Guthrie committed suicide. Why, I wonder?
Robert E. Howard
Know, oh prince, that between the years when the oceans drank Atlantis and the gleaming cities, and the years of the rise of the Sons of Aryas, there was an Age undreamed of, when shining kingdoms lay spread across the world like blue mantles beneath the stars.
Robert E. Howard
The only safe enemy was a headless enemy.
Robert E. Howard
I have known many gods. He who denies them is blind as he who trusts them too deeply.
Robert E. Howard
What always was must always be.
Robert E. Howard
I don't believe I ever saw an Oklahoman who wouldn't fight at the drop of a hat - and frequently drop the hat himself.
Robert E. Howard
When I cannot stand alone, it will be time to die.
Robert E. Howard
Animals are neither gods nor fiends, but men in their way without the lust and greed of man.
Robert E. Howard
I never saw a man fight as Conan fought. He put his back to the courtyard wall, and before they overpowered him the dead men were strewn in heaps thigh-deep about him. But at last they dragged him down, a hundred against one.
Robert E. Howard
I think the real reason so many youngsters are clamoring for freedom of some vague sort, is because of unrest and dissatisfaction with present conditions I don't believe this machine age gives full satisfaction in a spiritual way, if the term may be allowed.
Robert E. Howard
It is an ill thing to meet a man you thought dead in the woodland at dusk.
Robert E. Howard
Civilization is a natural and inevitable consequence - whether good or evil I am not prepared to state.
Robert E. Howard
Life is but a web spun of ghosts and dreams and illusions.
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
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
I have gone into yesterday and tomorrow and both were as real as today -- which is like the dreams of ghosts!
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
