More quotes by Roger Zelazny
When your bow is broken and your last arrow spent, then shoot, shoot with your whole heart.
Roger Zelazny
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.
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.
Roger Zelazny
Of course it does not apply to me. I am the soul of honor, kindness, mercy and goodness. Trust me in all things.
Roger Zelazny

Roger Zelazny
Death is mighty, and is no one's friend.
Roger Zelazny
My mind spun for a second before it drifted, and in that second I knew that of all pleasures a drink of cold water when you are thirsty, liquor when you are not, sex, a cigarette after many days without one there is none of them can compare with sleep. Sleep is best.
Roger Zelazny
I never plan ahead, with the exception of the Amber books which had to proceed in sequence. But I don't really like to know what I'm going to be working on a year in advance. So I just sign blank contracts for books and whatever strikes me as a good idea is what I write about.
Roger Zelazny
The power to hurt ... has evolved in a direct relationship to technological advancement.
Roger Zelazny
Two days like icebergs bleak, blank, half-melting, all frigid, mainly out of sight, and definitely a threat to peace of mind drifted by and were good to put behind.
Roger Zelazny
The universe did not invent justice. Man did. Unfortunately, man must reside in the universe.
Roger Zelazny
I'm a lost soul. We do wail.
Roger Zelazny
A powerful flight of the imagination . . . an entirely enjoyable reading experience, wrought by a pair of writers noted for excellence.
Roger Zelazny
I've always been impulsive. My thinking is usually pretty good, but I always seem to do it after I do my talking — by which time I've generally destroyed all basis for further conversation.
Roger Zelazny
Even a mirror will not show you yourself, if you do not wish to see.
Roger Zelazny
If the liberal arts do nothing else they provide engaging metaphors for the thinking they displace.
