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.

Image
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.

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
Image
That's life: trust and you're betrayed don't trust and you betray yourself.

Image
Do you work for the government, any government?” I pay taxes, which means I work for the government, part of the time. Yes.

The absence of a monument can, in its own way, be something of a monument also.

Any man would be forsworn to gain a kingdom.
