just words

without comments

“We use so many words to describe what happens to us, and it all amounts to the same thing. 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.” – Terry Brooks, The Druid of Shannara.

world and boundaries

without comments

“We cannot pretend that the world begins and ends at the boundaries we might make for it. Sometimes, we acknowledge that it extends itself into our lives in ways that we might prefer it wouldn’t, and we must face up to the challenges it offers.” – Terry Brooks, The Scions of Shannara.
