Image
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.

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
Image
I cannot imagine life without books any more than I can imagine life without breathing.
Terry Brooks
Image
The more complex and overwhelming the threat to a protagonist, the better the opportunity for the author to create a compelling conflict and a dramatic resolution.
Terry Brooks
Image
If you don't think there is magic in writing, you probably won't write anything magical.
Terry Brooks
Image
A world in which elves exist and magic works offers greater opportunities to digress and explore.
Terry Brooks
Image
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.
Terry Brooks
Image
You shouldn't believe everything you hear you're young, not stupid.

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.
