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.

Robin Hobb
THE HEIR OF NIGHT by Helen Lowe is a richly told tale of strange magic, dark treachery and conflicting loyalties, set in a well realized world.
Robin Hobb
Writers really do that. We weep over our characters. We are saddened sometimes for days when we say goodbye to a world or a character. They do become our best friends. I've probably spent more time with them over the past 22, 24 years than I have spent with most of the real members of my family.
Robin Hobb

Robin Hobb
I never confuse the cost of something with its value
Robin Hobb
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
It's all connected. When you save any part of the world, you've saved the whole world. In fact, that's the only way it can be done.
Robin Hobb
Nothing takes the heart out of a man more than the expectation of failure.
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.
Robin Hobb
The fight isn't over until you win.
