Robert E. Howard
Barbarism is the natural state of mankind.
Robert E. Howard
It is an ill thing to meet a man you thought dead in the woodland at dusk.

Civilization is a natural and inevitable consequence - whether good or evil I am not prepared to state.
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
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
