Roger Zelazny

Roger Zelazny
The most difficult thing about Time, I have learned, is doing it.
Roger Zelazny
It is anticipation and recollection that fill the heart—never the sensation of the moment.
Roger Zelazny

Roger Zelazny
I try to sit down at the typewriter four times a day, even if it's only five minutes, and write three sentences.
Roger Zelazny
When you are about to die, a wombat is better than no company at all.
Roger Zelazny
Sleep is perhaps the only among life's great pleasures which need not be of short duration.
Roger Zelazny
If the liberal arts do nothing else they provide engaging metaphors for the thinking they displace.
Roger Zelazny
Be warned, therefore, that one does not go to hell to light a cigarette.
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.
