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
I think that old magic draws much of its strength from that acknowledgment: that we are a part of that world.
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
Most prisons are of our own making. A man makes his own freedom, too.
Robin Hobb

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
the greatest danger is always the one we are ignorant of.
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
Men of passion and vision are often seen as mad.
Robin Hobb
Boredom is vastly underrated. Boredom means that nothing is trying to kill you every day.
Robin Hobb
You can be the dead fish. I'll be the old stick
Robin Hobb
What a man can take with a sword, a woman can give by her flesh alone. Life.
Robin Hobb
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. I think myself cured of all spite, but when I touch pen to paper, the hurt of a boy bleeds out with the sea-spawned ink, until I suspect each carefully formed black letter scabs over some ancient scarlet wound.
