More quotes by Terry Brooks
You shouldn't believe everything you hear you're young, not stupid.
Terry Brooks
We live out our lives as we are meant to live them-with some choice, with some chance, but mostly as a result of the persons we are.
Terry Brooks
Deception is mostly a game we play with ourselves.
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
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
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
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
Cats can do whatever they want, whenever they want, without regard to what anyone says or does. Rather like Princesses.
Terry Brooks
I have learned to do more with less, so you don't see the big books anymore.
Terry Brooks
A world in which elves exist and magic works offers greater opportunities to digress and explore.
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
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.
Terry Brooks
Well, I think that as a country, we've drifted away from appreciating the importance of imagination.
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
I cannot imagine life without books any more than I can imagine life without breathing.
Terry Brooks
We forget that what matters begins with the imagination.
Terry Brooks
I might add that you change as a person as you grow older, so you change as a writer, too.
Terry Brooks
Hurt leads to bitterness, bitterness to anger, travel too far that road and the way is lost.
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.
