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. That had been, roughly, two hundred and fifty years ago. I'd been a pallbearer.

Strygalldwir is my name. Conjure with it and I will eat your heart and liver. Conjure with it? I can't even pronounce it, and my cirrhosis would give you indigestion.
Roger Zelazny
Image
Nothing we did in those days has caused a change. Because of what we did, things remained as they were, rather than getting worse, I told him.

Sleep is perhaps the only among life's great pleasures which need not be of short duration.
Roger Zelazny

The day of battle dawned pink as the fresh-bitten thigh of a maiden.

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.

I try to sit down at the typewriter four times a day, even if it's only five minutes, and write three sentences.
