More quotes by 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
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
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
Wits and swords are as straws against the wisdom of the Darkness.
Robert E. Howard
Barbarism is the natural state of mankind.
Robert E. Howard
The printed page was like wine to me.
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
Youngsters of this generation seem not quite so hazardous except in the way of mechanical speed, bad liquor and venereal diseases.
Robert E. Howard
Before the invader sound was born, the Universe was silent and shall be again.
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
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
My body seems a mere encumbrance to me an imbecillic wagon, hitched to the horse of desire, which is the soul.
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
I have gone into yesterday and tomorrow and both were as real as today -- which is like the dreams of ghosts!
Robert E. Howard
The sea-road is good for wanderers and landless men. There is quenching of thirst on the grey paths of the winds, and the flying clouds to still the sting of lost dreams.
Robert E. Howard
Animals are neither gods nor fiends, but men in their way without the lust and greed of man.
Robert E. Howard
Man is still an ape in that he forgets what is not ever before his eyes.
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
Life is but a web spun of ghosts and dreams and illusions.
Robert E. Howard
Civilized men are more discourteous than savages because they know they can be impolite without having their skulls split, as a general thing.
Robert E. Howard
