More quotes by 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
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
You shouldn't believe everything you hear you're young, not stupid.
Terry Brooks

Terry Brooks

Terry Brooks
My interests are different now than they were thirty years ago.
Terry Brooks
If you do not love what you do, if you are not appropriately grateful for the chance to create something magical each time you sit down at the computer or with a pencil and paper in hand, somewhere along the way your writing will betray you.
Terry Brooks
We forget that what matters begins with the imagination.
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
For a writer, its very attractive to stay in one world for a time.
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
Terry Brooks
Might have, could have, may have, should haveāthe haves and have nots reduced to pointless possibilities.
