Roger Zelazny
Nick swore he'd die with this boots on, on some exotic safari, but he found his Kilimanjaro in a hospital on Earth, where they'd cured everything that was bothering him, except for the galloping pneumonia he'd picked up in the hospital.

Roger Zelazny

Roger Zelazny

Roger Zelazny

Roger Zelazny
The universe did not invent justice. Man did. Unfortunately, man must reside in the universe.
