More quotes by Robert E. Howard
I have accomplished little enough, but such as it is, it is the result of my own efforts.
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 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
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
What is death but a traversing of eternities and a crossing of cosmic oceans?
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
A kingdom is not lost by a single defeat.
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
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
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
I have no fear of the Hereafter. An orthodox hell could hardly be more torture than my life has been.
Robert E. Howard
A woman in such an emotional tempest is as perilous as a blind cobra to any about her.
Robert E. Howard
When I cannot stand alone, it will be time to die.
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
Time and times are but cogwheels, unmatched, grinding on oblivious to one another. Occasionally - oh, very rarely! - the cogs fit the pieces of the plot snap together momentarily and give men faint glimpses beyond the veil of this everyday blindness we call reality.
Robert E. Howard
Before the invader sound was born, the Universe was silent and shall be again.
Robert E. Howard
The printed page was like wine to me.
Robert E. Howard
Civilization is a natural and inevitable consequence - whether good or evil I am not prepared to state.
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
