Robert E. Howard
Life is but a web spun of ghosts and dreams and illusions.
Robert E. Howard

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
I have accomplished little enough, but such as it is, it is the result of my own efforts.
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
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
A kingdom is not lost by a single defeat.
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
Wits and swords are as straws against the wisdom of the Darkness.
Robert E. Howard
My body seems a mere encumbrance to me an imbecillic wagon, hitched to the horse of desire, which is the soul.
Robert E. Howard
Rome got some peachy pastings when she tried to lick the Irish.
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
