More quotes by Robin Hobb
The man who must brag for himself knows that no one else will
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 think that old magic draws much of its strength from that acknowledgment: that we are a part of that world.
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
Every writer knows a lot more about their characters and story than actually makes it onto the page.
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
When you cut pieces out of the truth to avoid looking like a fool you end up looking like a moron instead.
Robin Hobb
Don’t do what you can’t undo, until you’ve considered what you can’t do once you’ve done it.
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 healed. Not completely. A scar is never the same as good flesh, but it stops the bleeding.
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
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
Boredom is vastly underrated. Boredom means that nothing is trying to kill you every day.
Robin Hobb
Fitz: Shall we get up tomorrow and go looking for a wild pig? Nighteyes: I didn’t lose any wild pigs, did you?
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
I began attempting to write for children under the mistaken assumption that writing for children was easy.
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
Her stillness was such a contrast to all the jumbled communication inside me that I suddenly felt what a tiresome fellow I was, always filling the air with the rattle of words and anxieties.
Robin Hobb
As I apologized to her a flicker of panic raced through me and then faded away. There wasn't enough life left in me to panic. I'd made a mistake and I was dying. Apparently not even a Speck afterlife was available to me. I'd simply stop being. Apparently I hadn't died correctly. Oops.
Robin Hobb
Stop longing.You poison today’s ease, reaching always for tomorrow.
