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
She has her gown nicely in place tonight, doesn't she? Black velvet and sparkles, not a thread left hanging. Clever girl, this city. Even the sky is her friend.

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
Herein lies the heart and soul of the nations. Their right to be free men, Their desire to live in peace, Their courage to seek out truth, Herein lies the Sword of Shannara.
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
Cats can do whatever they want, whenever they want, without regard to what anyone says or does. Rather like Princesses.
Terry Brooks
A world in which elves exist and magic works offers greater opportunities to digress and explore.
Terry Brooks
I have learned to do more with less, so you don't see the big books anymore.
Terry Brooks
The future is an ever-shifting maze of possibilities until it becomes the present
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
