More quotes by 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.

Robert E. Howard
Civilization is a network and a maze of precedences and custom.
Robert E. Howard

Robert E. Howard
The only safe enemy was a headless enemy.
Robert E. Howard

Robert E. Howard

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
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
One man's bane is another's bliss.
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
A woman in such an emotional tempest is as perilous as a blind cobra to any about her.
Robert E. Howard
What always was must always be.
Robert E. Howard
Animals are neither gods nor fiends, but men in their way without the lust and greed of man.
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
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
But whatever my failure, I have this thing to remember - that I was a pioneer in my profession, just as my grandfathers were in theirs, in that I was the first man in this section to earn his living as a writer.
Robert E. Howard
Youngsters of this generation seem not quite so hazardous except in the way of mechanical speed, bad liquor and venereal diseases.
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
