Roger Zelazny
It is a pain in the ass waiting around for someone to try to kill you.
Roger Zelazny
To paraphrase Oedipus, Hamlet, Lear, and all those guys, I wish I had known this some time ago.
Roger Zelazny
The dead are too much with us.
Roger Zelazny
Time passed slowly, like and old man climbing a hill.
Roger Zelazny
Once a Buddha, always a Buddha.
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
Go and copulate with yon purple lizard.
Roger Zelazny
Life is full of doors that don't open when you knock, equally spaced amid those that open when you don't want them to.
Roger Zelazny
Even a mirror will not show you yourself, if you do not wish to see.
