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
It's too late to apologize for. I have already forgiven you.

Robin Hobb
Anticipating pain was like enduring it twice. Why not anticipate pleasure instead?
Robin Hobb
Love isn't just about feeling sure of the other person, knowing what he would give up for you. It's knowing with certainty what you are willing to surrender for his sake. Make no mistake each partner gives up something. Individual dreams are surrendered for a shared one.
Robin Hobb
It's all connected. When you save any part of the world, you've saved the whole world. In fact, that's the only way it can be done.
Robin Hobb
One can only walk so far from one's true self before the bond either snaps, or pulls one back.
Robin Hobb
When you spring to an idea, and decide it is truth, without evidence, you blind yourself to other possibilities.
Robin Hobb
For, Yes, he had sighed on his dying breath, and all knew that was the ultimate prayer one could offer to life.
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.
