I cannot imagine life without books any more than I can imagine life without breathing.
Terry Brooks

I want to kick-start your imagination and let you discover the places it can take you.
Terry Brooks
Image
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.

Might have, could have, may have, should have—the haves and have nots reduced to pointless possibilities.
