Robin Hobb

Robin Hobb
For, Yes, he had sighed on his dying breath, and all knew that was the ultimate prayer one could offer to life.
Robin Hobb
Anticipating pain was like enduring it twice. Why not anticipate pleasure instead?
Robin Hobb
I healed. Not completely. A scar is never the same as good flesh, but it stops the bleeding.
