More quotes by Robin Hobb
Someday is someday, and maybe it will be or maybe it won't. This is a human thing, to worry about things that may or may not come to be. You can't eat meat until you've killed it.
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
Death is not the opposite of life, but the opposite of choice.
Robin Hobb
The fight isn't over until you win.
Robin Hobb
Nothing takes the heart out of a man more than the expectation of failure.
Robin Hobb
When you spring to an idea, and decide it is truth, without evidence, you blind yourself to other possibilities.
Robin Hobb
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
There is little in life so reassuring as a genuine welcome.
Robin Hobb
I healed. Not completely. A scar is never the same as good flesh, but it stops the bleeding.
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
Silent, the carved wizardwood on his wrist breathed. Silent as a blinded ship, floating hull-up in the sea. Silent as a scream underwater.
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
When both my editors say 'This is really bad, you need to change this,' I ignore that at my peril.
Robin Hobb
What a man can take with a sword, a woman can give by her flesh alone. Life.
Robin Hobb
Silence can ask all the questions, where the tongue is prone to ask only the wrong one.
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
How different would our perception of reality be if... we discarded the mundane events that cannot coexist with our dreams?
Robin Hobb
One can only walk so far from one's true self before the bond either snaps, or pulls one back.
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
Some people say 'I want to be a writer,' and some people say, 'I want to write.'
