Roger Zelazny

Roger Zelazny

Roger Zelazny
A powerful flight of the imagination . . . an entirely enjoyable reading experience, wrought by a pair of writers noted for excellence.
Roger Zelazny
When inspiration is silent reason tires quickly.
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
If the liberal arts do nothing else they provide engaging metaphors for the thinking they displace.
Roger Zelazny
The dead are too much with us.
Roger Zelazny
I enjoy slaughtering beasts, and I think of my relatives constantly.
Roger Zelazny
