We forget that what matters begins with the imagination.
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

Terry Brooks
I have learned to do more with less, so you don't see the big books anymore.
Terry Brooks
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
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
If you do not hear music in your words, you have put too much thought into your writing and not enough heart.
Terry Brooks
You shouldn't believe everything you hear you're young, not stupid.
Terry Brooks
I haven't made up my mind about doing anymore Landover books.
Terry Brooks
Why pretend to be something you're not? If you have to be someone, be someone no one else is.
