Well,the fun part of being a writer is that it's like making a wonderful film, with no limit on my budget. I can design the sets, the costume, the lightings, I write the script, and then I get to perform all the roles as I step into each character's skin, zip up, and adopt that point of view. So, to me, they are all compelling and fascinating.

Robin Hobb
Stop longing.You poison today’s ease, reaching always for tomorrow.
Robin Hobb
It was hard to reconcile the drumbeats and lifted voices in the night with my memories of flames and the screams of dying men. How could humanity range so effortlessly from the sublime to the savage and back again?

Fitz fixes fyces fitz.Fatsafices.
Robin Hobb
Sometimes it seemed to me a cruelty that so much was unresolved between us at other times, a blessing that a hope of reunion lingered.
Robin Hobb
I never confuse the cost of something with its value
Robin Hobb
I told you I set no limits on my love for you. I don't. Yet I have never expected you to offer me your body. It was the whole of your heart, all for myself, that I sought. Even though I've never had a right to it. For you gave it away ere ever you saw me.
