More quotes by 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
I think that old magic draws much of its strength from that acknowledgment: that we are a part of that world.
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
Very little about being a writer is signing an autograph. It's sitting in a room and writing. Getting it out.
Robin Hobb
Men of passion and vision are often seen as mad.
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.

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
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.

The fight isn't over until you win it, Fitz. That's all you have to remember. No matter what the other man says.

Well,the fun part of being a writer is that it's like making a wonderful film, with no limit on my budget. I can design the sets, the costume, the lightings, I write the script, and then I get to perform all the roles as I step into each character's skin, zip up, and adopt that point of view. So, to me, they are all compelling and fascinating.
Robin Hobb
One can only walk so far from one's true self before the bond either snaps, or pulls one back.
Robin Hobb
Look forward, not back. Correct your course and go on. You cannot undo yesterday's journey.
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
What good is a life lived as if it made no difference at all to the great life of the world? - Fool

Cats talk to whomever they please.
Robin Hobb
But a living is not a life.
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
Stop longing.You poison today’s ease, reaching always for tomorrow.

Silence can ask all the questions, where the tongue is prone to ask only the wrong one.

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.
