Robert E. Howard Zitate auf Englisch

Zitat des Tages von Robert E. Howard:

It seems to me that many writers, by virtue of environments of culture, art and education, slip into writing because of their environments.

Never the less, it is no light thing to enter into a profession absolutely foreign and alien to the people among which one's lot is cast; a profession which seems as dim and faraway and unreal as the shores of Europe.

Robert E. Howard

Robert E. Howard

I had neither expert aid nor advice. I studied no courses in writing; until a year or so ago, I never read a book by anybody advising writers how to write.

Robert E. Howard

I have not been a success, and probably never will be.

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

I became a writer in spite of my environments.
