Quotes by Terry J. Benton-Walker (?)

“The meaning of life. What a fucking joke. I barely understand the shit that goes on in mine.”
― Terry J. Benton-Walker, Blood Debts

“To be named is to submit. My name is the vastness of the waters of chaos. My name is the height of the Tree of All Seeds. My name is the cosmic mountain that reaches out of this sphere and into the next. A pause, then: That is to say, should you wish to bestow upon me a name of your choice, I will accept it as a proxy.”
