No. This is right. I feel it. I am the Catalyst, and I came to change all things. Prophets become warriors, dragons hunt as wolves. Fitz in Assassin's Quest
Robin Hobb
There is little in life so reassuring as a genuine welcome.
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
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
One had a knife. But I had a staff and was trained to use it.
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
The fight isn't over until you win.
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.

Every writer knows a lot more about their characters and story than actually makes it onto the page.
Robin Hobb
I thought we had lost you. I thought we'd done something worse than let you die.' His old arms were tight and strong about me. I was kind to the old man. I did not tell him they had.
Robin Hobb
I began attempting to write for children under the mistaken assumption that writing for children was easy.
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
The fight isn't over until you win it, Fitz. That's all you have to remember. No matter what the other man says.
Robin Hobb
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
Very little about being a writer is signing an autograph. It's sitting in a room and writing. Getting it out.
Robin Hobb
Boredom is vastly underrated. Boredom means that nothing is trying to kill you every day.
Robin Hobb
Nothing takes the heart out of a man more than the expectation of failure.
Robin Hobb
Sometimes it seemed to me a cruelty that so much was unresolved between us at other times, a blessing that a hope of reunion lingered.
