When your bow is broken and your last arrow spent, then shoot, shoot with your whole heart.
Roger Zelazny
Image
Life is full of doors that don't open when you knock, equally spaced amid those that open when you don't want them to.

I never plan ahead, with the exception of the Amber books which had to proceed in sequence. But I don't really like to know what I'm going to be working on a year in advance. So I just sign blank contracts for books and whatever strikes me as a good idea is what I write about.

Nick swore he'd die with this boots on, on some exotic safari, but he found his Kilimanjaro in a hospital on Earth, where they'd cured everything that was bothering him, except for the galloping pneumonia he'd picked up in the hospital.

Roger Zelazny
Image
I'm a lost soul. We do wail.
Roger Zelazny
Image
It is anticipation and recollection that fill the heart—never the sensation of the moment.
Roger Zelazny
Image
Even a mirror will not show you yourself, if you do not wish to see.
Roger Zelazny
Image
It is no shame to lose to me, mortal. Even among mythical creatures there are very few who can give a unicorn a good game.
Roger Zelazny
Image
Good-bye and hello, as always.
Roger Zelazny
Image
I enjoy slaughtering beasts, and I think of my relatives constantly.
Roger Zelazny
Image
I've always been impulsive. My thinking is usually pretty good, but I always seem to do it after I do my talking — by which time I've generally destroyed all basis for further conversation.
Roger Zelazny
Image
It would be nice if there were some one thing constant and unchanging in the universe. If there is such a thing, then it is a thing which would have to be stronger than love, and it is a thing which I do not know.
Roger Zelazny
Image
I try to sit down at the typewriter four times a day, even if it's only five minutes, and write three sentences.
Roger Zelazny
Image
At the end of the season of sorrows comes the time of rejoicing. Spring, like a well-oiled clock, noiselessly indicates this time.
