More quotes by 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
The people among which I lived - and yet live, mainly - made their living from cotton, wheat, cattle, oil, with the usual percentage of business men and professional men.
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 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
The only safe enemy was a headless enemy.
Robert E. Howard
I see in the papers where Roy Guthrie committed suicide. Why, I wonder?
Robert E. Howard
Civilization is a natural and inevitable consequence - whether good or evil I am not prepared to state.
Robert E. Howard

Robert E. Howard

Robert E. Howard
I'll say one thing about an oil boom it will teach a kid that Life's a pretty rotten thing as quick as anything I can think of.
Robert E. Howard
One man's bane is another's bliss.
Robert E. Howard
What always was must always be.
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
Before the invader sound was born, the Universe was silent and shall be again.
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
What shall a man say when a friend has vanished behind the doors of Death? A mere tangle of barren words, only words.
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
Animals are neither gods nor fiends, but men in their way without the lust and greed of man.
Robert E. Howard
Rome got some peachy pastings when she tried to lick the Irish.
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
