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 enjoy slaughtering beasts, and I think of my relatives constantly.
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
Strygalldwir is my name. Conjure with it and I will eat your heart and liver. Conjure with it? I can't even pronounce it, and my cirrhosis would give you indigestion.
Roger Zelazny
Good-bye and hello, as always.
Roger Zelazny
There are none of you, good doctors, could cope with my family anyway.
Roger Zelazny
The absence of a monument can, in its own way, be something of a monument also.
Roger Zelazny
To paraphrase Oedipus, Hamlet, Lear, and all those guys, I wish I had known this some time ago.
Roger Zelazny
The day of battle dawned pink as the fresh-bitten thigh of a maiden.
Roger Zelazny
A powerful flight of the imagination . . . an entirely enjoyable reading experience, wrought by a pair of writers noted for excellence.
