Roger Zelazny
When inspiration is silent reason tires quickly.
Roger Zelazny
Time passed slowly, like and old man climbing a hill.
Roger Zelazny
If I get enough letters saying you never explained this or that, I suppose I'll have to write another book.
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 know, too, that death is the only god who comes when you call.

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

Roger Zelazny
I walked among Shadows, and found a race of furry creatures, dark and clawed and fanged, reasonably manlike, and about as intelligent as a freshman in the high school of your choice-sorry, kids, but what I mean is they were loyal, devoted, honest, and too easily screwed by bastards like me and my brother. I felt like the dee-jay of your choice.
Roger Zelazny
There are none of you, good doctors, could cope with my family anyway.
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
I'm a lost soul. We do wail.
Roger Zelazny
Nobody steals books but your friends.
Roger Zelazny
When your bow is broken and your last arrow spent, then shoot, shoot with your whole heart.
Roger Zelazny
The most difficult thing about Time, I have learned, is doing it.
Roger Zelazny
It would be nice if there were some one thing constant and unchanging in the universe. If there is such a thing, then it is a thing which would have to be stronger than love, and it is a thing which I do not know.
Roger Zelazny
When you are about to die, a wombat is better than no company at all.
Roger Zelazny
Then you must reconcile yourself to the fact that something is always hurt by any change. If you do this, you will not be hurt yourself.
Roger Zelazny
The dead are too much with us.
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
