Conan – Character Quotes

Crom... l have never prayed to you before. l have no tongue for it. No one, not even you, will remember if we were good men or bad. Why we fought or why we died. No. All that matters is that two stood against many. That's what's important. Valor pleases you, Crom, so grant me one request. Grant me revenge. And if you do not listen, then to hell with you.

— We won again! This is good. But what is best in life?
