More quotes by Robert E. Howard
I have not been a success, and probably never will be.
Robert E. Howard
Before the invader sound was born, the Universe was silent and shall be again.
Robert E. Howard
What do I know of cultured ways, the gilt, the craft and the lie? I, who was born in a naked land and bred in the open sky. The subtle tongue, the sophist guile, they fail when the broadswords sing Rush in and die, dogs—I was a man before I was a king.
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
It seems to me that many writers, by virtue of environments of culture, art and education, slip into writing because of their environments.
Robert E. Howard
When I cannot stand alone, it will be time to die.
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
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

Robert E. Howard
Civilization is a natural and inevitable consequence - whether good or evil I am not prepared to state.
Robert E. Howard
I have known many gods. He who denies them is blind as he who trusts them too deeply.
Robert E. Howard
Any but the most brutish of men must be touched with a certain awe or wonder at the baring of a woman's naked soul.
Robert E. Howard
It is an ill thing to meet a man you thought dead in the woodland at dusk.
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
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
Barbarism is the natural state of mankind.
Robert E. Howard
What always was must always be.
Robert E. Howard
It is not pleasant to come upon Death in a lonely place at midnight.
Robert E. Howard
What is death but a traversing of eternities and a crossing of cosmic oceans?
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
