Robert E. Howard

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
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
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
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
Civilization is a network and a maze of precedences and custom.
