More quotes by Robin Hobb
I told you I set no limits on my love for you. I don't. Yet I have never expected you to offer me your body. It was the whole of your heart, all for myself, that I sought. Even though I've never had a right to it. For you gave it away ere ever you saw me.
Robin Hobb
I healed. Not completely. A scar is never the same as good flesh, but it stops the bleeding.
Robin Hobb

Robin Hobb

Robin Hobb
We are as we are. How can you claim to know what life I was meant to lead, let alone threaten to force me into it? All your quibbling is nonsense. As well forbid your nose to snuff, or your ears to hear. We are as we do.
Robin Hobb
But a living is not a life.
Robin Hobb
It's too late to apologize for. I have already forgiven you.
Robin Hobb
THE HEIR OF NIGHT by Helen Lowe is a richly told tale of strange magic, dark treachery and conflicting loyalties, set in a well realized world.
Robin Hobb
Sometimes it seemed to me a cruelty that so much was unresolved between us at other times, a blessing that a hope of reunion lingered.
Robin Hobb
When considering a man's motives, remember you must not measure his wheat with your bushel. He may not be using the same standard at all.
Robin Hobb
Locked into loneliness were we two and looking at one another every evening we each saw the one we blamed for it.
Robin Hobb
Perhaps having the courage to find a better path is having the courage to risk making new mistakes.
Robin Hobb
Diplomacy is the velvet glove that cloaks the fist of power.
