More quotes by Roger Zelazny
When your bow is broken and your last arrow spent, then shoot, shoot with your whole heart.
Roger Zelazny
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.
Roger Zelazny
Between the black of yesterday and the white of tomorrow is the great gray of today.
Roger Zelazny
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
I know, too, that death is the only god who comes when you call.
Roger Zelazny
When you are about to die, a wombat is better than no company at all.
Roger Zelazny
Once a Buddha, always a Buddha.
Roger Zelazny
Thus did I bear Sir Lancelot de Lac to the Keep of Ganleon, whom I trusted like a brother. That is to say, not at all.
Roger Zelazny
Go and copulate with yon purple lizard.
Roger Zelazny
The day of battle dawned pink as the fresh-bitten thigh of a maiden.
Roger Zelazny

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
The most difficult thing about Time, I have learned, is doing it.
Roger Zelazny
It is no shame to lose to me, mortal. Even among mythical creatures there are very few who can give a unicorn a good game.
Roger Zelazny
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.
Roger Zelazny
Death is mighty, and is no one's friend.
Roger Zelazny
Any man would be forsworn to gain a kingdom.
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
Be warned, therefore, that one does not go to hell to light a cigarette.
Roger Zelazny
The dead are too much with us.
Roger Zelazny
