I think that old magic draws much of its strength from that acknowledgment: that we are a part of that world.
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
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
Locked into loneliness were we two and looking at one another every evening we each saw the one we blamed for it.
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.

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

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
When both my editors say 'This is really bad, you need to change this,' I ignore that at my peril.
Robin Hobb
What good is a life lived as if it made no difference at all to the great life of the world? - Fool
Robin Hobb
Boredom is vastly underrated. Boredom means that nothing is trying to kill you every day.
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
When considering a man's motives, remember you must not measure his wheat with your bushel. He may not be using the same standard at all.
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.
