Robin Hobb
Image
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
Image
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
Image
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
Image
You can be the dead fish. I'll be the old stick
Robin Hobb
Image
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
Image
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.
