More quotes by 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
I want to kick-start your imagination and let you discover the places it can take you.
Terry Brooks
Well, I think that as a country, we've drifted away from appreciating the importance of imagination.
Terry Brooks
I cannot imagine life without books any more than I can imagine life without breathing.
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
It's better to die in pursuit of your dreams than to live a life without hope.
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
If you don't think there is magic in writing, you probably won't write anything magical.
Terry Brooks
Why pretend to be something you're not? If you have to be someone, be someone no one else is.
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
The future is an ever-shifting maze of possibilities until it becomes the present
Terry Brooks
You shouldn't believe everything you hear you're young, not stupid.
Terry Brooks
My interests are different now than they were thirty years ago.
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
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
Might have, could have, may have, should have—the haves and have nots reduced to pointless possibilities.
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
Hurt leads to bitterness, bitterness to anger, travel too far that road and the way is lost.
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
