More quotes by 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
The only safe enemy was a headless enemy.
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
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
Life is but a web spun of ghosts and dreams and illusions.
Robert E. Howard
Civilization is a network and a maze of precedences and custom.
Robert E. Howard
What is death but a traversing of eternities and a crossing of cosmic oceans?
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
What always was must always be.
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
Know, oh prince, that between the years when the oceans drank Atlantis and the gleaming cities, and the years of the rise of the Sons of Aryas, there was an Age undreamed of, when shining kingdoms lay spread across the world like blue mantles beneath the stars.
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
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
I have known many gods. He who denies them is blind as he who trusts them too deeply.
Robert E. Howard
I never saw a man fight as Conan fought. He put his back to the courtyard wall, and before they overpowered him the dead men were strewn in heaps thigh-deep about him. But at last they dragged him down, a hundred against one.
Robert E. Howard
I see in the papers where Roy Guthrie committed suicide. Why, I wonder?
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
When I cannot stand alone, it will be time to die.
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
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
