A.E. Howard
A.E. Howard
book past flying
While we may open the books of the past, we may but grant flying glances of the future, through the mist that veils it.
civilization evil natural
Civilization is a natural and inevitable consequence - whether good or evil I am not prepared to state.
men doors barren
What shall a man say when a friend has vanished behind the doors of Death? A mere tangle of barren words, only words.
moving insanity brain
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.
real hate character
My characters are more like men than these real men are, see. They're rough and rude, they got hands and they got bellies. They hate and they lust; break the skin of civilization and you find the ape, roaring and red-handed.
disease way this-generation
Youngsters of this generation seem not quite so hazardous except in the way of mechanical speed, bad liquor and venereal diseases.
country race interest
I am unable to rouse much interest in any highly civilized race, country or epoch, including this one.
dream men wind
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.
wine pages printed
The printed page was like wine to me.
agony negation sensations
Every twinge of sensation, even of agony, was a negation of death.
art appreciate tin
We're making tin gods out of those poor buffoons in Hollywood; I dote on movies and appreciate the scanty art therein but I consider the profession about the most debased and debasing I know.
strong-women strong circus
I reckon if I ever marry, she will have to be a strong woman in a circus or something.
men dusk ill
It is an ill thing to meet a man you thought dead in the woodland at dusk.
kingdoms defeat lost
A kingdom is not lost by a single defeat.
