More quotes by Robin Hobb

Well,the fun part of being a writer is that it's like making a wonderful film, with no limit on my budget. I can design the sets, the costume, the lightings, I write the script, and then I get to perform all the roles as I step into each character's skin, zip up, and adopt that point of view. So, to me, they are all compelling and fascinating.

Death is not the opposite of life, but the opposite of choice.
Robin Hobb
When you spring to an idea, and decide it is truth, without evidence, you blind yourself to other possibilities.
Robin Hobb
Cats talk to whomever they please.
Robin Hobb
Besides, if there were no dragons of flesh and blood and fire, whence would come the idea for these stone carvings?
Robin Hobb
Life is not a race to restore a past situation. Nor does one have to hurry to meet the future. Seeing how things change is what makes life interesting.
Robin Hobb
It was hard to reconcile the drumbeats and lifted voices in the night with my memories of flames and the screams of dying men. How could humanity range so effortlessly from the sublime to the savage and back again?
Robin Hobb
But a living is not a life.
Robin Hobb
There is little in life so reassuring as a genuine welcome.
