Terry Brooks

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
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
When she cried, he would say, there is nothing wrong with crying. Your feelings tell you who are. They tell what is important. Don't ever be ashamed of them.
Terry Brooks
