More quotes by Roger Zelazny
Good-bye and hello, as always.
Roger Zelazny
I enjoy slaughtering beasts, and I think of my relatives constantly.
Roger Zelazny
Between the black of yesterday and the white of tomorrow is the great gray of today.
Roger Zelazny
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. That had been, roughly, two hundred and fifty years ago. I'd been a pallbearer.
Roger Zelazny
Go and copulate with yon purple lizard.
Roger Zelazny
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
There are none of you, good doctors, could cope with my family anyway.
Roger Zelazny
The enemy of the moment is not as important as our own inner weakness. If this is not mended we are already defeated, though no foreign conqueror stands within our walls.
Roger Zelazny
When your bow is broken and your last arrow spent, then shoot, shoot with your whole heart.
Roger Zelazny
I walked among Shadows, and found a race of furry creatures, dark and clawed and fanged, reasonably manlike, and about as intelligent as a freshman in the high school of your choice-sorry, kids, but what I mean is they were loyal, devoted, honest, and too easily screwed by bastards like me and my brother. I felt like the dee-jay of your choice.
Roger Zelazny
A powerful flight of the imagination . . . an entirely enjoyable reading experience, wrought by a pair of writers noted for excellence.
Roger Zelazny
Be warned, therefore, that one does not go to hell to light a cigarette.
Roger Zelazny
If I get enough letters saying you never explained this or that, I suppose I'll have to write another book.
Roger Zelazny
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.
Roger Zelazny
Sleep is perhaps the only among life's great pleasures which need not be of short duration.
Roger Zelazny
Any man would be forsworn to gain a kingdom.
Roger Zelazny
Time passed slowly, like and old man climbing a hill.
Roger Zelazny
My mind spun for a second before it drifted, and in that second I knew that of all pleasures a drink of cold water when you are thirsty, liquor when you are not, sex, a cigarette after many days without one there is none of them can compare with sleep. Sleep is best.
Roger Zelazny
Once a Buddha, always a Buddha.
Roger Zelazny
The four points of the compass be logic, knowledge, wisdom and the unknown. Some do bow in that final direction. Others advance upon it. To bow before the one is to lose sight of the three. I may submit to the unknown, but never to the unknowable. The man who bows in that final direction is either a saint or a fool. I have no use for either.
Roger Zelazny
