Nobody steals books but your friends.

~ Roger Zelazny

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

~ Roger Zelazny

It is anticipation and recollection that fill the heart—never the sensation of the moment.

~ Roger Zelazny

Then every man would be as a god, you see. The result of this, of course, would be that there would no longer be any gods, only men. We would give them knowledge of the sciences and the arts, which we possess, and in so doing we would destroy their simple faith and remove all basis for their hoping that things will be better—for the best way to destroy faith or hope is to let it be realized.

~ Roger Zelazny
