More quotes by Robin Hobb
Diplomacy is the velvet glove that cloaks the fist of power.
Robin Hobb
Silence can ask all the questions, where the tongue is prone to ask only the wrong one.
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
Most prisons are of our own making. A man makes his own freedom, too.
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
There is little in life so reassuring as a genuine welcome.
Robin Hobb
Every writer knows a lot more about their characters and story than actually makes it onto the page.
Robin Hobb
the greatest danger is always the one we are ignorant of.
Robin Hobb
I was dressed up as a witch for Halloween, and wanted to write a story about my black cat before I went out trick-or-treating. I think it went out with the trash the next day.
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.

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
Some people say 'I want to be a writer,' and some people say, 'I want to write.'
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
One had a knife. But I had a staff and was trained to use it.
Robin Hobb
The fight isn't over until you win.
Robin Hobb
Someday is someday, and maybe it will be or maybe it won't. This is a human thing, to worry about things that may or may not come to be. You can't eat meat until you've killed 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
Tomorrow owes you the sum of your yesterdays. No more than that. And no less.
Robin Hobb
