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.

More quotes by 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
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
After all, you put a lot into creating a universe and everything that goes with it, and it seems a shame to use it only once.
Terry Brooks
Deception is mostly a game we play with ourselves.
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
If I have the means, I have the responsibility to employ them.
Terry Brooks
What I want to write about has changed somewhat, and the scope of the storytelling has changed accordingly.
Terry Brooks
It's better to die in pursuit of your dreams than to live a life without hope.
