More quotes by Terry Brooks
Why pretend to be something you're not? If you have to be someone, be someone no one else is.
Terry Brooks
The more complex and overwhelming the threat to a protagonist, the better the opportunity for the author to create a compelling conflict and a dramatic resolution.
Terry Brooks
A cat never discusses his business with humans, not even Princesses. A cat never explains and never apologizes. A cat never alibis. You must accept a cat as it is and for what it is and not expect more than the pleasure of its company.
Terry Brooks
There is much to admire in Peter Brett's writing, and his concept is brilliant. There's action and suspense all the way.
Terry Brooks
It's better to die in pursuit of your dreams than to live a life without hope.

Terry Brooks
The future is an ever-shifting maze of possibilities until it becomes the present. The future I have shown you tonight is not yet fixed. But it is more likely to become so with the passing of every day because nothing is being done to turn it aside. If you would change it, do as I have told you.
Terry Brooks
What we have in life that we can count on is who we are and where we come from, she thought absently. For better or worse, that's what we have to sustain us in our endeavors, to buttress us in our darker moments, and to remind us of our identity. Without those things, we are adrift.
Terry Brooks
After all, you put a lot into creating a universe and everything that goes with it, and it seems a shame to use it only once.
Terry Brooks
We forget that what matters begins with the imagination.
Terry Brooks
If I have the means, I have the responsibility to employ them.
Terry Brooks

Terry Brooks
I haven't made up my mind about doing anymore Landover books.
Terry Brooks
Evil contained is not evil destroyed.
Terry Brooks
This is for writers yet to be published who think the uphill climb will never end. Keep believing. This is also for published writers grown jaded by the process. Remember how lucky you are.
Terry Brooks
We live out our lives as we are meant to live them-with some choice, with some chance, but mostly as a result of the persons we are.
Terry Brooks
What kind of world permitted such terrible injustice, where good men were stripped of everything and soulless creatures of malice and hatred survived to glory in their pointless death?
Terry Brooks
Anyway, several rewrites later, Del Rey Books did publish my first novel, and it did become the first work of fiction on the New York Times trade paperback bestseller list.
Terry Brooks
If you do not hear music in your words, you have put too much thought into your writing and not enough heart.
Terry Brooks
Nothing is lost that we do not first see as lost. Visions born of fear give birth to our failing. Visions born of hope give birth to our success. What is possible lives within us, and it only remains for us to discover it.
Terry Brooks
