    Terry Goodkind
    “I often hear people say that they read to escape reality, but I believe that what they’re really doing is reading to find reason for hope, to find strength. While a bad book leaves readers with a sense of hopelessness and despair, a good novel, through stories of values realized, of wrongs righted, can bring to readers a connection to the wonder of life. A good novel shows how life can and ought to be lived. It not only entertains but energizes and uplifts readers.”

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, Confessor

    “The Second Rule is that the greatest harm can result from the best intentions. It sounds a paradox, but kindness and good intentions can be an insidious path to destruction. Sometimes doing what seems right is wrong, and can cause harm. The only counter to it is knowledge, wisdom, forethought, and understanding the First Rule. Even then, that is not always enough.”

    Terry Goodkind
    “The Screelings are loose and the Keeper may win.
    His assassins have come to rip off your skin.
    Golden eyes will see you if you try to run.
    The screelings will get you and laugh like it's fun.

    Walk away slow or they'll tear you apart,
    and laugh all day long as they rip out your heart.
    Golden eyes will see you if you try to stand still.
    The screelings will get you, for the Keeper they kill.

    Hack 'em up, chop 'em up, cut 'em to bits,
    or else they will get you while laughing in fits.
    If the screelings don't get you the Keeper will try,
    to reach out and touch you, your skin he will fry.

    Your mind he will flail, your soul he will take.
    You'll sleep with the dead, for life you'll forsake.
    You'll die with the Keeper till the end of time.
    He hates that you live, your life is the crime.

    The screelings might get you, it says so in text.
    If screelings don't get you the Keeper is next,
    lest he who's born true can fight for life's bond.
    And that one is marked; he's the pebble in the pond.”
    Terry Goodkind, Stone of Tears
