More quotes by Terry Brooks
My interests are different now than they were thirty years ago.
Terry Brooks
It's better to die in pursuit of your dreams than to live a life without hope.
Terry Brooks
I cannot imagine life without books any more than I can imagine life without breathing.
Terry Brooks
Evil contained is not evil destroyed.
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
When I was a kid, we had to rely on our imaginations for entertainment.
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

Terry Brooks

Terry Brooks
I want to kick-start your imagination and let you discover the places it can take you.
Terry Brooks
Anyway, several rewrites later, Del Rey Books did publish my first novel, and it did become the first work of fiction on the New York Times trade paperback bestseller list.
Terry Brooks
Hurt leads to bitterness, bitterness to anger, travel too far that road and the way is lost.
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
If I have the means, I have the responsibility to employ them.
Terry Brooks
For a writer, its very attractive to stay in one world for a time.
