More quotes by 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
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
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
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
I have not been a success, and probably never will be.
Robert E. Howard
A kingdom is not lost by a single defeat.
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
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
It is better to go in the dark when the road must pass a lion and there is no other road.
Robert E. Howard
What is death but a traversing of eternities and a crossing of cosmic oceans?
Robert E. Howard
Barbarism is the natural state of mankind.
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
Man is still an ape in that he forgets what is not ever before his eyes.
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
When I cannot stand alone, it will be time to die.
Robert E. Howard
How can I wear the harness of toil And sweat at the daily round, While in my soul forever The drums of Pictdom sound?
Robert E. Howard
Wits and swords are as straws against the wisdom of the Darkness.
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
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
