Terry Brooks
Cats can do whatever they want, whenever they want, without regard to what anyone says or does. Rather like Princesses.
Terry Brooks
Even after Sword was published, I was still only thinking about the next book, Elfstones.
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
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
You shouldn't believe everything you hear you're young, not stupid.
Terry Brooks
If you don't think there is magic in writing, you probably won't write anything magical.
Terry Brooks
I cannot imagine life without books any more than I can imagine life without breathing.
