More quotes by Robert Sheckley
Outside the curtained windows, Paris stewed in its miasma of self-congratulation and diesel fumes.
Man is the only animal whose fear of embarrassment can overcome his instinct for self-preservation.
Still, no matter how commonplace, one’s death is the most interesting event of one’s life.

Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind,
And therefore is wing'd Cupid painted blind.
To fear love is to fear life, and those who fear life are already three parts dead.
Not for the body, but for the heart; companion and company are needed.
Love seldom haunts the breast where learning lies,
And Venus sets ere Mercury can rise.
