More quotes by Roger Zelazny
If the liberal arts do nothing else they provide engaging metaphors for the thinking they displace.
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
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
The day of battle dawned pink as the fresh-bitten thigh of a maiden.
Roger Zelazny
Sleep is perhaps the only among life's great pleasures which need not be of short duration.
Roger Zelazny
It is a pain in the ass waiting around for someone to try to kill you.
Roger Zelazny
There's really nothing quite like someone's wanting you dead to make you want to go on living.
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
Why could you not have left me as I was, in the sea of being? Because the world has need of your humility, your piety, your great teaching and your Machiavellian scheming.
Roger Zelazny
Time passed slowly, like and old man climbing a hill.
Roger Zelazny
The dead are too much with us.
Roger Zelazny
Even a mirror will not show you yourself, if you do not wish to see.
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
There are none of you, good doctors, could cope with my family anyway.
Roger Zelazny
There's no such thing as civilization. The word just means the art of living in cities.
Roger Zelazny
Between the black of yesterday and the white of tomorrow is the great gray of today.
Roger Zelazny
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
I enjoy slaughtering beasts, and I think of my relatives constantly.
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
I know, too, that death is the only god who comes when you call.
Roger Zelazny
