More quotes by Terry Brooks

Terry Brooks
I think I make better use of language and imagery than when I started out.
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
You shouldn't believe everything you hear you're young, not stupid.
Terry Brooks

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
It's better to die in pursuit of your dreams than to live a life without hope.
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
I want to kick-start your imagination and let you discover the places it can take you.
Terry Brooks
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
What I want to write about has changed somewhat, and the scope of the storytelling has changed accordingly.
Terry Brooks
If you do not love what you do, if you are not appropriately grateful for the chance to create something magical each time you sit down at the computer or with a pencil and paper in hand, somewhere along the way your writing will betray you.
Terry Brooks
