More quotes by Roger Zelazny
When inspiration is silent reason tires quickly.
Roger Zelazny
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
Death is mighty, and is no one's friend.
Roger Zelazny
When you are about to die, a wombat is better than no company at all.
Roger Zelazny
At the end of the season of sorrows comes the time of rejoicing. Spring, like a well-oiled clock, noiselessly indicates this time.
Roger Zelazny
There's no such thing as civilization. The word just means the art of living in cities.
Roger Zelazny
Nothing we did in those days has caused a change. Because of what we did, things remained as they were, rather than getting worse, I told him.
Roger Zelazny
If the liberal arts do nothing else they provide engaging metaphors for the thinking they displace.
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
Be warned, therefore, that one does not go to hell to light a cigarette.
Roger Zelazny
The absence of a monument can, in its own way, be something of a monument also.
Roger Zelazny
I'm a lost soul. We do wail.
Roger Zelazny
Do you work for the government, any government?” I pay taxes, which means I work for the government, part of the time. Yes.
Roger Zelazny
Once a Buddha, always a Buddha.
Roger Zelazny
Two days like icebergs bleak, blank, half-melting, all frigid, mainly out of sight, and definitely a threat to peace of mind drifted by and were good to put behind.
Roger Zelazny
I know, too, that death is the only god who comes when you call.
Roger Zelazny
Then you must reconcile yourself to the fact that something is always hurt by any change. If you do this, you will not be hurt yourself.
Roger Zelazny
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.
Roger Zelazny
A powerful flight of the imagination . . . an entirely enjoyable reading experience, wrought by a pair of writers noted for excellence.
Roger Zelazny
Thus did I bear Sir Lancelot de Lac to the Keep of Ganleon, whom I trusted like a brother. That is to say, not at all.
Roger Zelazny
