More quotes by 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
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
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
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
Any man would be forsworn to gain a kingdom.
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
It is a pain in the ass waiting around for someone to try to kill you.
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
If the liberal arts do nothing else they provide engaging metaphors for the thinking they displace.
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
Be warned, therefore, that one does not go to hell to light a cigarette.
Roger Zelazny
It is anticipation and recollection that fill the heart—never the sensation of the moment.
Roger Zelazny
A powerful flight of the imagination . . . an entirely enjoyable reading experience, wrought by a pair of writers noted for excellence.
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 know, too, that death is the only god who comes when you call.
Roger Zelazny
When you are about to die, a wombat is better than no company at all.
Roger Zelazny
Sleep is perhaps the only among life's great pleasures which need not be of short duration.
Roger Zelazny
There's really nothing quite like someone's wanting you dead to make you want to go on living.
Roger Zelazny
Tonight I will suck the marrow from your bones!” it said. “I will dry them and work them most cunningly into instruments of music! Whenever I play upon them, your spirit will writhe in bodiless agony!” “You burn prettily,” I said.
