Additional quotes by Robert E. Howard

Where does barbarism leave off and civilization begin?...We can hardly conceive ourselves to be the sole possessors of the only true civilization that the world has ever known.

Gleaming shell of an outworn lie; fable of Right divine — You gained your crowns by heritage, but Blood was the price of mine.
The throne that I won by blood and sweat , by Crom, I will not sell
For promise of valleys filled with gold, or threat of the Halls of Hell!

I have no fear of the Hereafter. An orthodox hell could hardly be more torture than my life has been.

But folk who have tasted of death are only partly alive. In the dark corners of their souls and minds, death still lurks unconquered. - Robert E. Howard
