“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 is what we have to sustain us in our endevors, to buttress us in our darker moments, and to remind us of our identity. Without those things, we are adrift.”
Terry Brooks, A Knight of the Word“Hurt leads to bitterness, bitterness to anger, travel too far that road and the way is lost.”
Terry Brooks“Growing up, I didn't have a lot of toys, and personal entertainment depended on individual ingenuity and imagination - think up a story and go live it for an afternoon.”
Terry Brooks“Fantasy writing must be grounded in both truth and life experience if it is to work. It can be as inventive and creative as the writer can make it, a whirlwind of images and plot twists, but it cannot be built on a foundation of air. The world must be identifiable with our own, must offer us a frame of reference we can recognize.”“Fantasy stories work because the writer has interwoven bits and pieces of reality with imagination to form a personal vision.”
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“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, The Scions of Shannara“Might have, could have, may have, should have—the haves and have nots reduced to pointless possibilities.”
Terry Brooks, The Black Unicorn“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, A Princess of Landover“But your responsibilities are sometimes given you without choice, without consent.”
Terry Brooks, The Elfstones of Shannara“Cats can do whatever they want, whenever they want, without regard to what anyone says or does. Rather like Princesses.”
