More quotes by Terry Brooks
My interests are different now than they were thirty years ago.
Terry Brooks
I have learned to do more with less, so you don't see the big books anymore.
Terry Brooks
I cannot imagine life without books any more than I can imagine life without breathing.
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
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
Hurt leads to bitterness, bitterness to anger, travel too far that road and the way is lost.
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
The future is an ever-shifting maze of possibilities until it becomes the present
Terry Brooks
The future is an ever-shifting maze of possibilities until it becomes the present. The future I have shown you tonight is not yet fixed. But it is more likely to become so with the passing of every day because nothing is being done to turn it aside. If you would change it, do as I have told you.
Terry Brooks
I think I make better use of language and imagery than when I started out.
Terry Brooks
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
Why pretend to be something you're not? If you have to be someone, be someone no one else is.
Terry Brooks
The Golden Compass is one of the best fantasy / adventure stories that I have read. This is a book no one should miss.
Terry Brooks
My breakthrough as a reader was when I discovered the European adventure story writers - Alexander Dumas, Robert Louis Stevenson, Sir Walter Scott, to name a few.
Terry Brooks
I want to kick-start your imagination and let you discover the places it can take you.
Terry Brooks
Deception is mostly a game we play with ourselves.
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
There is much to admire in Peter Brett's writing, and his concept is brilliant. There's action and suspense all the way.
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
Well, I think that as a country, we've drifted away from appreciating the importance of imagination.
Terry Brooks
