Roger Zelazny
To paraphrase Oedipus, Hamlet, Lear, and all those guys, I wish I had known this some time ago.

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
Go and copulate with yon purple lizard.
Roger Zelazny
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.
Roger Zelazny
It is a pain in the ass waiting around for someone to try to kill you.
Roger Zelazny
When inspiration is silent reason tires quickly.
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.
