Quotes

  • “A lot of things seem to be happening, all at once,” I told Chester.“Enemy action,” he replied.“Huh?”“That’s what you told me once. An old Army motto you found when you were doing those war books. Once is happenstance, twice is coincidence, three times is enemy action. This is the third time.”
  • I am not in the habit of letting someone else decide what I can and cannot do.
  • “God is just,” he said.“Just what?” I asked.“Just watching.”
