Robin Hobb
Look forward, not back. Correct your course and go on. You cannot undo yesterday's journey.
Robin Hobb
I healed. Not completely. A scar is never the same as good flesh, but it stops the bleeding.
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
Silence can ask all the questions, where the tongue is prone to ask only the wrong one.
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
Perhaps having the courage to find a better path is having the courage to risk making new mistakes.
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
You can be the dead fish. I'll be the old stick
