Roger Zelazny Quotes - Page 3

• 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.

• El "fuego" no importa, la "tierra", el "aire" y el "agua" no importan. Yo no importo. Ninguna palabra importa. Pero el hombre olvida la realidad y recuerda las palabras. Cuantas más palabras recuerda, más inteligente le consideran sus semejantes. Contempla las grandes transformaciones del mundo, pero no las ve como eran vistas cuando el hombre contempló la realidad por primera vez. Sus nombres acuden a sus labios y sonríe al saborearlos, creyendo conocerlos en la nomenclatura.
