More quotes by 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
When both my editors say 'This is really bad, you need to change this,' I ignore that at my peril.
Robin Hobb
Do you do this because you live such short lives? Tell yourselves wild tales of what might happen tomorrow, and feel all the feelings of events that will never happen? Perhaps to make up for the pasts you cannot recall, you invent futures that will not exist.
Robin Hobb
Anticipating pain was like enduring it twice. Why not anticipate pleasure instead?
Robin Hobb
There is little in life so reassuring as a genuine welcome.
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.
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
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
One can only walk so far from one's true self before the bond either snaps, or pulls one back.
Robin Hobb
I wonder if I can write this history, or if on every page there will be some sneaking show of a bitterness I thought long dead. I think myself cured of all spite, but when I touch pen to paper, the hurt of a boy bleeds out with the sea-spawned ink, until I suspect each carefully formed black letter scabs over some ancient scarlet wound.
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
The fight isn't over until you win it, Fitz. That's all you have to remember. No matter what the other man says.
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
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
How different would our perception of reality be if... we discarded the mundane events that cannot coexist with our dreams?
Robin Hobb
Cats talk to whomever they please.
Robin Hobb
I think that old magic draws much of its strength from that acknowledgment: that we are a part of that world.
Robin Hobb
I never confuse the cost of something with its value
Robin Hobb
Perhaps having the courage to find a better path is having the courage to risk making new mistakes.
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.
