Roger Zelazny
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.
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

Roger Zelazny

Roger Zelazny

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
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
There's really nothing quite like someone's wanting you dead to make you want to go on living.
Roger Zelazny
