Robert E. Howard
Rome got some peachy pastings when she tried to lick the Irish.
Robert E. Howard

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
Civilization is a network and a maze of precedences and custom.
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
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
Wits and swords are as straws against the wisdom of the Darkness.
Robert E. Howard
The only safe enemy was a headless enemy.
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.
