More quotes by 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
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.
Roger Zelazny
The universe did not invent justice. Man did. Unfortunately, man must reside in the universe.
Roger Zelazny
It is a pain in the ass waiting around for someone to try to kill you.
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
Once a Buddha, always a Buddha.
Roger Zelazny
When inspiration is silent reason tires quickly.
Roger Zelazny
My mind spun for a second before it drifted, and in that second I knew that of all pleasures a drink of cold water when you are thirsty, liquor when you are not, sex, a cigarette after many days without one there is none of them can compare with sleep. Sleep is best.
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
At the end of the season of sorrows comes the time of rejoicing. Spring, like a well-oiled clock, noiselessly indicates this time.
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
When you are about to die, a wombat is better than no company at all.
Roger Zelazny
The dead are too much with us.
Roger Zelazny
I would never rest until I held vengeance and the throne within my hand, and good night sweet prince to anybody who stood between me and these things.
Roger Zelazny
Do you work for the government, any government?” I pay taxes, which means I work for the government, part of the time. Yes.
Roger Zelazny
The day of battle dawned pink as the fresh-bitten thigh of a maiden.
Roger Zelazny
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
There's really nothing quite like someone's wanting you dead to make you want to go on living.
Roger Zelazny
Any man would be forsworn to gain a kingdom.
Roger Zelazny
Be warned, therefore, that one does not go to hell to light a cigarette.
Roger Zelazny
