Robert E. Howard
In the hill country, civilization steals in last, and the people retain much of the crude but vigorous mode of expression of the colonial days and earlier.
Robert E. Howard
One man's bane is another's bliss.
Robert E. Howard
My body seems a mere encumbrance to me an imbecillic wagon, hitched to the horse of desire, which is the soul.
