More quotes by Roger Zelazny
When inspiration is silent reason tires quickly.
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
If I get enough letters saying you never explained this or that, I suppose I'll have to write another book.
Roger Zelazny
Sleep is perhaps the only among life's great pleasures which need not be of short duration.
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
Strygalldwir is my name. Conjure with it and I will eat your heart and liver. Conjure with it? I can't even pronounce it, and my cirrhosis would give you indigestion.
Roger Zelazny
Even a mirror will not show you yourself, if you do not wish to see.
Roger Zelazny
The most difficult thing about Time, I have learned, is doing it.
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
Go and copulate with yon purple lizard.
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
Of course it does not apply to me. I am the soul of honor, kindness, mercy and goodness. Trust me in all things.
Roger Zelazny
A powerful flight of the imagination . . . an entirely enjoyable reading experience, wrought by a pair of writers noted for excellence.
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 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
Any man would be forsworn to gain a kingdom.
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
Between the black of yesterday and the white of tomorrow is the great gray of today.
Roger Zelazny
There are none of you, good doctors, could cope with my family anyway.
