More quotes by Robert E. Howard
The only safe enemy was a headless enemy.
Robert E. Howard
Wits and swords are as straws against the wisdom of the Darkness.
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
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
I see in the papers where Roy Guthrie committed suicide. Why, I wonder?
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
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
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

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
Rome got some peachy pastings when she tried to lick the Irish.
Robert E. Howard
Civilization is a network and a maze of precedences and custom.
Robert E. Howard
A kingdom is not lost by a single defeat.
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
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
It is not pleasant to come upon Death in a lonely place at midnight.
Robert E. Howard
I became a writer in spite of my environments.
Robert E. Howard
Animals are neither gods nor fiends, but men in their way without the lust and greed of man.
Robert E. Howard
Life is but a web spun of ghosts and dreams and illusions.
Robert E. Howard
One man's bane is another's bliss.
Robert E. Howard
