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
Besides, if there were no dragons of flesh and blood and fire, whence would come the idea for these stone carvings?
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.

Every writer knows a lot more about their characters and story than actually makes it onto the page.
Robin Hobb
Anticipating pain was like enduring it twice. Why not anticipate pleasure instead?
