  • Terry Goodkind Quote #1

  • Terry Goodkind Quote #3

    ...you'll find that being a friend is to like a person for who they are, even the parts you don't understand. You don't have to understand, or do the same, or live their lives for them. If you truly care for them, then you want them to be who they are; that was why you liked them in the first place.

  • Terry Goodkind Quote #4

    Are we our bodies? Is a small person less than a big person, then? If we were our bodies, then when we lost an arm, or a leg, would we be less, would we begin to fade from existence? No. We are the same person.

    We are not our bodies; we are our thoughts. As they form, they define who we are, and create the reality of our existence.

    Cara waggled a hand over the two of them. It works better with your clothes off.
    Richard frowned. His voice came as a hoarse croak. What?
    She seemed mystified by the question. I believe you will find such things work better without clothes. She put her hands to her hips. I thought you would know at least that much.

    He put the box in Kahlan's lap. As she picked it up, she gave him the biggest smile he had ever seen. Before he even knew what he had done, he had leaned over and given Kahlan a quick kiss. Her eyes went wide, and she didn't kiss him back, but the feel of her lips shocked him into realizing what he had done.
    Oh. Sorry, he said.
    She laughed. Forgiven.

  • Terry Goodkind Quote #15

    He was the monster. That was what Kahlan saw. And she had sent him away in a collar to be tortured. Because he was a monster that needed to be collared, a beast.

  • Terry Goodkind Quote #16

    His face set in grim determination, Richard slogged ahead, his fingers reaching up to touch the tooth under his shirt. Loneliness, deeper than he had never known, sagged his shoulders. All his friends were lost to him. He knew now that his life was not his own. It belonged to his duty, to his task. He was the Seeker. Nothing more. Nothing less. Not his own man, but a pawn to be used by others. A tool, same as his sword, to help others, that they might have the life he had only glimpsed for a twinkling.
    He was no different from the dark things in the boundary. A bringer of death.

  • Terry Goodkind Quote #17

    I am who I am; no more, no less.

  • Terry Goodkind Quote #20

    I will have to admit, though, that I will never look at an apple in quite the same way.

  • Terry Goodkind Quote #21

    I'm afraid that we all make mistakes. One of the things that defines our character is how we handle mistakes. If we lie about having made a mistake, then it can't be corrected and it festers. On the other hand, if we give up just because we made a mistake, even a big mistake, none of us would get far in life.

  • Terry Goodkind Quote #22

    If something is wrong, it matters not if a thousand men are for it; you must still oppose it. If something is just, no amount of popular outcry should stay you from your course.

  • Terry Goodkind Quote #23

    If the road is easy, you're likely going the wrong way.

  • Terry Goodkind Quote #24

    If you want to be a slave in life, then continue going around asking others to do for you. They will oblige, but you will find the price is your choices, your freedom, your life itself. They will do for you, and as a result you will be in bondage to them forever, having given your identity away for a paltry price. Then, and only then, you will be a nobody, a slave, because you yourself and nobody else made it so.

  • Terry Goodkind Quote #25
