Favorite Conan the Barbarian Quotes

Subotai was a great amalgamation of all the Hyrkanians that Conan fought beside in the novels.

“You broke into my home, stole my possessions, killed my servants...and pets. That is what grives me the most.”

Paraphrasing from his beliefs about Crom: At birth, Crom gives us a certain amount of courage, a certain amount of strength, a certain amount of will, and nothing else. The God of the Mound does not listen to the Prayers of his People. You are on your own to do what you can with what you have been given.

A certain amount in a metal detector is not good enough. It angered crom.

Conan trying to get past TSA:

"Awwwww SHeeeeeitttt."

It's naht a tumah!...oh wait.

Crush your enemies
See them driven before you
Hear the lamentations of their women

They're all sluts!

For us there is no spring. Just the wind that smells fresh before the storm.

That's a saying because it's true. Maybe it was before magneto crash landed.

Chrom!!!!

Cromm laughs at your four winds.

He laughs at the nucleus.

Fire and wind come from the sky, from the gods of the sky. But Crom is your god. Crom, and he lives in the earth. Once giants lived in the earth Conan. And in the darkness of chaos they fooled Crom, and they took from him the enigma of steel. Crom was angered. And the earth shook. And fire and wind struck down these giants and they threw their bodies into the waters. But in their rage, the gods forgot the secret of steel and left it on the battlefield. We who found it, are just men. Not gods. Not giants. Just men. And the secret of steel has always carried with it a mystery. You must learn it’s riddle Conan. You must learn it’s discipline. For no one, no one in this world can you trust. Not men. Not women. Not beasts. This you can trust.

Oil the sword. And feed the horse.

Quotes? The only thing I remember from Conan, is that there was hardly any dialogue at all.

Why don't you learn to fight with a real weapon...
NOT A TOOTHPICK!!!

Yep, my favorite too. Especially his conclusion to the prayer.

As a kid, I read many books in the Conan series and, if memory serves, his ultimate goal in life was to become king of his own realm.
What I can't recall, tho, is did he ever succeed on his quest? Did he ever become Conan the King?

Yup. I won't spoil how cool the he did it was.

I read Conan novels in my spare time as a kid, too.

Peace

Food for wolf.

Crush your enemies,
see them driven before you,
and listen to the lamentations of their women.

I am the wellspring, from which you flow.

Do you want to live forever?

I seek a standard. 2 snakes facing each other.
Excuse for massive bicep gun show.

Wizard doing his thing. rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
Fire will not burn there.


The riddle of steel. You know it boy. Come to me my child, come. Jumps to her death. THAT IS TRUE POWER BOY. The power of flesh. What is steel compared to the hand that wields it? This is CNN.

Contemplate this on the "Tree of Woe"

"In the year 2000, there will only be 1/10th the amount of homeless people as there is today. Unfortunately, each homeless person will be 10X normal size."

LMAO

only pain

Wow where to begin, I think Tulsa Dooms speech to conan was the truth of the darkside. Tulsa Doom once believed as Conan that justice was power brought by the iron/steel forged sword but having not found the essence of justice from slaying and cutting down people, he found that mind/desire manipulation was true power, to get people to use their pure will embodied by flesh Tulsa came to believe that this could surpass the strength of steel. In some ways Tulsa was right, i mean can you stop a person who would run into a steel sword willingly? Such power of will can shatter any material, the body itself becoming a weapon

Conan: You killed my mother! You killed my father, you killed my people! You took my father’s sword… ah –
[Rexor twists his arm]
Thulsa Doom: Ah. It must have been when I was younger. There was a time, boy, when I searched for steel, when steel meant more to me than gold or jewels.
Conan: The riddle… of steel.
Thulsa Doom: Yes! You know what it is, don’t you boy? Shall I tell you? It’s the least I can do. Steel isn’t strong, boy, flesh is stronger! Look around you. There, on the rocks; a beautiful girl. Come to me, my child…
(coaxes girl to jump to her death)
Thulsa Doom: That is strength, boy! That is power! What is steel compared to the hand that wields it? Look at the strength in your body, the desire in your heart, I gave you this! Such a waste. Contemplate this on the tree of woe. Crucify him!

Finally while not in the movie the book had this quote which surmises Conan simple approach to life, he realizes he is but a barbarian and that only by being such could he be true to himself, Robert E. Howard’s Conan the Cimmerian story “Queen of the Black Coast”


“In this world men struggle and suffer vainly, finding pleasure only in the bright madness of battle; dying, their souls enter a gray misty realm of clouds and icy winds, to wander cheerlessly throughout eternity.”

Bêlit shuddered. “Life, bad as it is, is better than such a destiny. What do you believe, Conan?”

He shrugged his shoulders. “I have known many gods. He who denies them is as blind as he who trusts them too deeply. I seek not beyond death. ..Let me live deep while I live; let me know the rich juices of red meat and stinging wine on my palate, the hot embrace of white arms, the mad exultation of battle when the blue blades flame and crimson, and I am content. Let teachers and priests and philosophers brood over questions of reality and illusion. I know this: if life is illusion, then I am no less an illusion, and being thus, the illusion is real to me. I live, I burn with life, I love, I slay, and am content.”

Conan will always be an epic story of the white devil neanderthal and his struggle, it would take alot to decode it since the themes/mythos was all stolen and reversed, example tulsa doom was played by the black man in order to cast the egyptian as the villain in his-story, but since it was so well done i wont get into that. In the end unless youw alk the path of Tulsa Doom, youd never understand Conan was the real villian in all of this

You mean Conehead the Barbituate?

Hasta la Vista Baby

I'll be back.
