More quotes by Roger Zelazny

Roger Zelazny

Roger Zelazny

Roger Zelazny

Roger Zelazny

Roger Zelazny
The absence of a monument can, in its own way, be something of a monument also.
Roger Zelazny
I'm a lost soul. We do wail.
Roger Zelazny
The dead are too much with us.
Roger Zelazny
The enemy of the moment is not as important as our own inner weakness. If this is not mended we are already defeated, though no foreign conqueror stands within our walls.
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
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
The power to hurt ... has evolved in a direct relationship to technological advancement.
