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. That had been, roughly, two hundred and fifty years ago. I'd been a pallbearer.
Roger Zelazny
There are none of you, good doctors, could cope with my family anyway.
Roger Zelazny
When your bow is broken and your last arrow spent, then shoot, shoot with your whole heart.
Roger Zelazny
Between the black of yesterday and the white of tomorrow is the great gray of today.
Roger Zelazny
A powerful flight of the imagination . . . an entirely enjoyable reading experience, wrought by a pair of writers noted for excellence.
Roger Zelazny
The absence of a monument can, in its own way, be something of a monument also.
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
Time passed slowly, like and old man climbing a hill.
Roger Zelazny
Thus did I bear Sir Lancelot de Lac to the Keep of Ganleon, whom I trusted like a brother. That is to say, not at all.
Roger Zelazny
The universe did not invent justice. Man did. Unfortunately, man must reside in the universe.
