The universe did not invent justice. Man did. Unfortunately, man must reside in the universe.
Roger Zelazny
Image
Why could you not have left me as I was, in the sea of being? Because the world has need of your humility, your piety, your great teaching and your Machiavellian scheming.

The enemy of the moment is not as important as our own inner weakness. If this is not mended we are already defeated, though no foreign conqueror stands within our walls.
Roger Zelazny
Image
There's no such thing as civilization. The word just means the art of living in cities.

Go and copulate with yon purple lizard.

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.

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

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
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.
