Conan Quotes

“It was a convulsion of obscenity, a spasm of lasciviousness – an exudation of secret hungers framed by compulsion: desire without pleasure, pain mated awfully to lust. It was like watching a soul stripped naked, and all its dark and unmentionable secrets laid bare.”

“He held out his hand as if to receive something, and the Turanian cried out sharply like a man in mortal agony.
