Every writer knows a lot more about their characters and story than actually makes it onto the page.
Robin Hobb
Writers really do that. We weep over our characters. We are saddened sometimes for days when we say goodbye to a world or a character. They do become our best friends. I've probably spent more time with them over the past 22, 24 years than I have spent with most of the real members of my family.

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.

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
That is the challenge Companion. To take what has happened to you and learn from it. Nothing is quite so destructive as pity, especially self-pity. No event in life is so terrible that one cannot rise above it.
Robin Hobb
How different would our perception of reality be if... we discarded the mundane events that cannot coexist with our dreams?
Robin Hobb
Ah, Catylast, can it be that you do not see all the changes you have made? Some by your resignation and acceptance of circumstance, some by your wild struggles. You say that you hate change, but you *are* change. The Fool in Fool's Fate
Robin Hobb
Fitz: How bad is it? Nighteyes: Mind your own business. Fitz: You ARE my business. Nighteyes: Sharing pain doesn’t loosen it. Fitz: I’m not sure about THAT.
Robin Hobb
Silence can ask all the questions, where the tongue is prone to ask only the wrong one.
Robin Hobb
Look forward, not back. Correct your course and go on. You cannot undo yesterday's journey.
Robin Hobb
Silent, the carved wizardwood on his wrist breathed. Silent as a blinded ship, floating hull-up in the sea. Silent as a scream underwater.
Robin Hobb
Perhaps having the courage to find a better path is having the courage to risk making new mistakes.
Robin Hobb
Stop longing.You poison today’s ease, reaching always for tomorrow.
