Terry Brooks
Image
We forget that what matters begins with the imagination.
Terry Brooks

Hurt leads to bitterness, bitterness to anger, travel too far that road and the way is lost.
Terry Brooks
Image
My interests are different now than they were thirty years ago.
Terry Brooks
Image
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
Image
We must nurture and love, if life is to have any real meaning. But First we must find a way to survive against the things that prevent us from doing so.
Terry Brooks
Image
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
