Conan Quotes

 I decided to post some quotes from my latest book, 3 Blades Against Darkness, a collection of action-packed fantasy tales featuring Conan, Solomon Kane, and King Kull as they battle supernatural threats, face ancient wizards, and embark on dangerous quests.

Here are some quotes from everyone's favourite Cimmerian. 

Conan

"The only time a Cimmerian is at peace is when he's at war."

\

"Conan, what do you know of the Gods?"     
"That there are too many of them."

"So, when it comes to greed and breaking the law, there isn't much of a difference between a barbarian and a civilized man, but the civilized man needs a barbarian to get the job done."

"...I do not repay kindness with treachery."

"What is the first thing you will buy? A woman?"
Conan shrugged. "Sword first, a woman second."

"Come and die, you hellhounds!"

"I don't know how I will die, or where. I don't think about it. I don't see any point to it."

"Keep that helmet on your head."
"And you keep your sword sharp."

"What do you want of me?" Conan demanded
"I think you know."
Conan nodded. "Revenge." It was an act and motivation he fully understood.

He had faced wizards before, and he knew enough not to underestimate them.

In a flash, the Cimmerian gave the Kothian a backhand blow that knocked the man out of his chair.

(Regarding the gods)
"I don't interfere in their business, and I trust they don't interfere in mine."

"The only time a barbarian is at peace is when he's at war."
"Is that an old Cimmerian expression?"
"No. I heard a crooked senator from Aquinlonia say that once." 

Here are a few quotes from my Kull stories.

Kull

"On your knees, you traitorous dogs!"

"Sometimes, I find this crown... heavy," the king said with tired sadness.
"That is because the entire nation rests upon it," said Brule.

Kull turned to his men. "If any of you are willing to give their lives for Valusia, if any of you would choose a brave death over a life of ignominy, or believe that fighting beside your king is the height of nobility and honor - then follow me!"

Finally, here are a few quotes from my Solomon Kane stories.

Solomon Kane

If evil wanted a confrontation, it would always find Solomon Kane ready.

 

Solomon Kane was not a vain man, but he would not tolerate anyone challenging his bravery.

 

"At your convenience, sir!" Kane said, stolidly throwing down the glove.

 

"I am sure these men are not so dishonorable as to lay a snare for me, wounded as I am."

 

"The Good Lord gave us each two legs. We walk."

 

So much evil, Kane thought. The world seemed full of evil.

 

Solomon Kane stood looking like the angel of death, all in black, his weapons drawn and his eyes almost ablaze.
