Robert E. Howard

Robert E. Howard
Man is still an ape in that he forgets what is not ever before his eyes.
Robert E. Howard
I think the real reason so many youngsters are clamoring for freedom of some vague sort, is because of unrest and dissatisfaction with present conditions I don't believe this machine age gives full satisfaction in a spiritual way, if the term may be allowed.
Robert E. Howard
I have known many gods. He who denies them is blind as he who trusts them too deeply.
Robert E. Howard
Rome got some peachy pastings when she tried to lick the Irish.
Robert E. Howard
A woman in such an emotional tempest is as perilous as a blind cobra to any about her.
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
