Roger Zelazny
There are none of you, good doctors, could cope with my family anyway.
Roger Zelazny
The day of battle dawned pink as the fresh-bitten thigh of a maiden.
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
Time passed slowly, like and old man climbing a hill.
Roger Zelazny
I'm a lost soul. We do wail.
Roger Zelazny

Roger Zelazny
