Terry Brooks Zitate

Terry Brooks, eigentlich Terence Dean Brooks ist ein US-amerikanischer Fantasy-Autor.

Bereits als Jugendlicher war Brooks kreativ tätig. Während seiner Schulzeit begeisterte ihn der Autor William Faulkner, später als Student hatte das Buch Der Herr der Ringe von J.R.R. Tolkien einen großen Einfluss auf ihn. Als 1977 der erste Band des Shannara-Zyklus Das Schwert von Shannara herauskam und erfolgreich verkauft wurde, gab er seinen Beruf als Rechtsanwalt auf und widmete sich ausschließlich der Schriftstellerei. 2017 erhielt er den World Fantasy Award für sein Lebenswerk.

“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.”

Bearers of the Black Staff

“What we have in life that we can count on is who we are and where we come from… For better or worse, that is what we have to sustain us in our endeavors, to buttress us in our darker moments, and to remind us of our identity. Without those things, we are adrift.”

Cap 6
The Scions Of Shannara

“Let me tell you something you haven’t learned yet, something you learn only by living awhile. As you get older, you find that life begins to wear you down. Doesn’t matter who you are or what you do, it happens. Experience, time, events—they all conspire against you to steal away your energy, to erode your confidence, to make you question things you wouldn’t have given a second thought to when you were young. It happens gradually, a chipping away that you don’t even notice at first, and then one day it’s there. You wake up and you just don’t have the fire anymore.”

The Scions Of Shannara

“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.”
