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.

More quotes by 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
It is not pleasant to come upon Death in a lonely place at midnight.
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 have no fear of the Hereafter. An orthodox hell could hardly be more torture than my life has been.
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
I see in the papers where Roy Guthrie committed suicide. Why, I wonder?
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
One man's bane is another's bliss.
Robert E. Howard
I became a writer in spite of my environments.
Robert E. Howard
Know, oh prince, that between the years when the oceans drank Atlantis and the gleaming cities, and the years of the rise of the Sons of Aryas, there was an Age undreamed of, when shining kingdoms lay spread across the world like blue mantles beneath the stars.
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
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
The people among which I lived - and yet live, mainly - made their living from cotton, wheat, cattle, oil, with the usual percentage of business men and professional men.
Robert E. Howard
Barbarism is the natural state of mankind.
Robert E. Howard
Wits and swords are as straws against the wisdom of the Darkness.
Robert E. Howard
Civilization is a network and a maze of precedences and custom.
Robert E. Howard
I never saw a man fight as Conan fought. He put his back to the courtyard wall, and before they overpowered him the dead men were strewn in heaps thigh-deep about him. But at last they dragged him down, a hundred against one.
Robert E. Howard
What is death but a traversing of eternities and a crossing of cosmic oceans?
Robert E. Howard
Life is but a web spun of ghosts and dreams and illusions.
Robert E. Howard
