Roger Zelazny Quote

You are one of the few successful persons I know.Me? Why?You know precisely what you are doing and you do it well.But I don't really do much of anything.And of course the quantity means nothing to you, nor the weight others place upon your actions. In my eyes, that makes you a success.By not giving a damn? But I do, you know.Of course you do, of course you do! But it is a matter of style, an awareness of choice—
