More quotes by 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
It's too late to apologize for. I have already forgiven you.
Robin Hobb
Tomorrow owes you the sum of your yesterdays. No more than that. And no less.
Robin Hobb
Perhaps having the courage to find a better path is having the courage to risk making new mistakes.
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
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
Nothing takes the heart out of a man more than the expectation of failure.
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 healed. Not completely. A scar is never the same as good flesh, but it stops the bleeding.
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
Love isn't just about feeling sure of the other person, knowing what he would give up for you. It's knowing with certainty what you are willing to surrender for his sake. Make no mistake each partner gives up something. Individual dreams are surrendered for a shared one.
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
I think that old magic draws much of its strength from that acknowledgment: that we are a part of that world.
Robin Hobb
When you spring to an idea, and decide it is truth, without evidence, you blind yourself to other possibilities.
Robin Hobb
Fitz: Shall we get up tomorrow and go looking for a wild pig? Nighteyes: I didn’t lose any wild pigs, did you?
Robin Hobb
Anticipating pain was like enduring it twice. Why not anticipate pleasure instead?
Robin Hobb
Fitz fixes fyces fitz.Fatsafices.
Robin Hobb
Look forward, not back. Correct your course and go on. You cannot undo yesterday's journey.
Robin Hobb
Death is not the opposite of life, but the opposite of choice.
Robin Hobb
Fitz: How bad is it? Nighteyes: Mind your own business. Fitz: You ARE my business. Nighteyes: Sharing pain doesn’t loosen it. Fitz: I’m not sure about THAT.
