Terry Brooks Quotes

The more complex and overwhelming the threat to a protagonist, the better the opportunity for the author to create a compelling conflict and a dramatic resolution Picture Quote #1

If you do not love what you do, if you are not appropriately grateful for the chance to create something magical each time you sit down at the computer or with a pencil and paper in hand, somewhere along the way your writing will betray you Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

There is poetry in fiction. If you cannot see it and feel it when you write, you need to step back and examine what you are doing wrong. If you have not figured out how to write a simple declarative sentence and make it sing with that poetry, you are not yet ready to write an entire book Picture Quote #1

The reader wants to see something happen between pages one and four hundred, and nothing happens if the characters don’t change Picture Quote #1

What kind of world permitted such terrible injustice, where good men were stripped of everything and soulless creatures of malice and hatred survived to glory in their pointless death? Picture Quote #1

If you don’t think there is magic in writing, you probably won’t write anything magical Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

Friendship doesn’t have anything to do with shoring up weakness. It has to do with respect and consideration for those you care about. It has to do with wanting to give something back to those you admire Picture Quote #1

You spend so much time wondering who you are, don’t you think? You flounder about, searching for your identity, when most of the time it is plain as the nose on your face. You struggle with questions of purpose and need, and forget that the answers are found mostly inside yourselves Picture Quote #1

This is for writers yet to be published who think the uphill climb will never end. Keep believing. This is also for published writers grown jaded by the process. Remember how lucky you are Picture Quote #1

It’s better to die in pursuit of your dreams than to live a life without hope Picture Quote #1

In bad weather, I spent hours drawing action figures on paper, coloring them, backing them on cardboard, then cutting them out and creating whole stories around their lives Picture Quote #1

She has her gown nicely in place tonight, doesn't she? Black velvet and sparkles, not a thread left hanging. Clever girl, this city. Even the sky is her friend Picture Quote #1

If you are always frightened for yourself you can't act, and then life loses its purpose. You just have to tell yourself that, when you get right down to it, you don't matter all that much Picture Quote #1

Why pretend to be something you're not? If you have to be someone, be someone no one else is Picture Quote #1

We live out our lives as we are meant to live them - with some choice, with some chance, but mostly as a result of the persons we are Picture Quote #1

What I want to write about has changed somewhat, and the scope of the storytelling has changed accordingly Picture Quote #1

We are constantly being put to the test by trying circumstances and difficult people and problems not necessarily of our own making Picture Quote #1

Testing of self is a regular part of our own lives, so it seems natural to make it a part of the lives of my characters, as well, albeit on a much different level Picture Quote #1

On the other hand, I still approach each book with the same basic plan in mind - to put some people under severe stress and see how they hold up Picture Quote #1

We must nurture and love, if life is to have any real meaning. But First we must find a way to survive against the things that prevent us from doing so Picture Quote #1

I want you, as a reader, to experience what I experience, to let that other world, that imaginary world that I have created, tell you things about the real world Picture Quote #1

I didn't want readers to have to make allowances for what they couldn't see, but to be able to say to themselves that the fabric of the magic detailed was perfectly believable Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

A world in which elves exist and magic works offers greater opportunities to digress and explore Picture Quote #1

Well, I think that as a country, we've drifted away from appreciating the importance of imagination Picture Quote #1

Hurt leads to bitterness, bitterness to anger, travel too far that road and the way is lost Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

I remember one winter, when I was about five or six, I spent three days with another boy, tracking a bobcat that had been sighted in another county fifty miles away, but which I was sure had come into our neighborhood Picture Quote #1
