Roger Zelazny
Image
If I get enough letters saying you never explained this or that, I suppose I'll have to write another book.
Roger Zelazny
Image
Even a mirror will not show you yourself, if you do not wish to see.
Roger Zelazny
Image
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
Image
The absence of a monument can, in its own way, be something of a monument also.
Roger Zelazny
Image
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
Image
At the end of the season of sorrows comes the time of rejoicing. Spring, like a well-oiled clock, noiselessly indicates this time.

Any man would be forsworn to gain a kingdom.
