More quotes by Robert E. Howard
Civilization is a network and a maze of precedences and custom.
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
Any but the most brutish of men must be touched with a certain awe or wonder at the baring of a woman's naked soul.
Robert E. Howard
But whatever my failure, I have this thing to remember - that I was a pioneer in my profession, just as my grandfathers were in theirs, in that I was the first man in this section to earn his living as a writer.
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
Civilization is a natural and inevitable consequence - whether good or evil I am not prepared to state.
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
It is an ill thing to meet a man you thought dead in the woodland at dusk.
Robert E. Howard
The printed page was like wine to me.
Robert E. Howard
For man's only weapon is courage that flinches not from the gates of Hell itself, and against such not even the legions of Hell can stand.
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
In the hill country, civilization steals in last, and the people retain much of the crude but vigorous mode of expression of the colonial days and earlier.
Robert E. Howard
When I cannot stand alone, it will be time to die.
Robert E. Howard
Never the less, at the age of fifteen, having never seen a writer, a poet, a publisher or a magazine editor, and having only the vaguest ideas of procedure, I began working on the profession I had chosen.
Robert E. Howard
Life is but a web spun of ghosts and dreams and illusions.
Robert E. Howard
I became a writer in spite of my environments.
Robert E. Howard
What is death but a traversing of eternities and a crossing of cosmic oceans?
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
Man is still an ape in that he forgets what is not ever before his eyes.
Robert E. Howard
A woman in such an emotional tempest is as perilous as a blind cobra to any about her.
Robert E. Howard
