Quotes by James D.A. Terry  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“Are we freemen or are we serfs?
Clearly, the government owns what you earn and, because they are a benevolent authority, allow you to keep a portion. By definition then, you are a serf.”
James D.A. Terry, Freeman or Serf

“He watched as the undercurrent buffeted the milfoil and hydrillia. He could see an old rusted bicycle moving gently to and fro with the ebb and flow. Old soft drink bottles and beer cans littered the lake bed and silt, like dust in the wind, rose in tiny clouds. The visibility was poor, only a few feet but he could see eerie shadows lurking beyond what seemed a wall of murky greyness.
He didn't know how long he had been sitting in his car watching but the brutal, debilitating cold was beginning to seep into his depths, indeed into his very soul. He knew the loathsome carnivorous scavengers would soon be emerging.”
James D.A. Terry, The Paladin
