More quotes by Robin Hobb
Life is not a race to restore a past situation. Nor does one have to hurry to meet the future. Seeing how things change is what makes life interesting.
Robin Hobb
Men of passion and vision are often seen as mad.
Robin Hobb
Look forward, not back. Correct your course and go on. You cannot undo yesterday's journey.
Robin Hobb
When both my editors say 'This is really bad, you need to change this,' I ignore that at my peril.

Robin Hobb

Robin Hobb
I healed. Not completely. A scar is never the same as good flesh, but it stops the bleeding.
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
The fight isn't over until you win.
Robin Hobb
Silence can ask all the questions, where the tongue is prone to ask only the wrong one.
Robin Hobb
Death is not the opposite of life, but the opposite of choice.
Robin Hobb
Boredom is vastly underrated. Boredom means that nothing is trying to kill you every day.
Robin Hobb
Diplomacy is the velvet glove that cloaks the fist of power.
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
