I haven't made up my mind about doing anymore Landover books.
Terry Brooks
If you don't think there is magic in writing, you probably won't write anything magical.
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
Writing fantasy lets me imagine a great deal more than, say, writing about alligators, and lets me write about places more distant than Florida, but I can tell you things about Florida and alligators, let you make the connection all on your own.
Terry Brooks
If I have the means, I have the responsibility to employ them.
Terry Brooks
Deception is mostly a game we play with ourselves.
Terry Brooks
We forget that what matters begins with the imagination.
Terry Brooks
What kind of world permitted such terrible injustice, where good men were stripped of everything and soulless creatures of malice and hatred survived to glory in their pointless death?

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
When I was a kid, we had to rely on our imaginations for entertainment.
Terry Brooks
Cats can do whatever they want, whenever they want, without regard to what anyone says or does. Rather like Princesses.
Terry Brooks
What I want to write about has changed somewhat, and the scope of the storytelling has changed accordingly.
Terry Brooks
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
It's better to die in pursuit of your dreams than to live a life without hope.
Terry Brooks
My interests are different now than they were thirty years ago.
Terry Brooks
This is for writers yet to be published who think the uphill climb will never end. Keep believing. This is also for published writers grown jaded by the process. Remember how lucky you are.
