More quotes by Robin Hobb
Every writer knows a lot more about their characters and story than actually makes it onto the page.
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
Men of passion and vision are often seen as mad.
Robin Hobb
Death is not the opposite of life, but the opposite of choice.
Robin Hobb
As I apologized to her a flicker of panic raced through me and then faded away. There wasn't enough life left in me to panic. I'd made a mistake and I was dying. Apparently not even a Speck afterlife was available to me. I'd simply stop being. Apparently I hadn't died correctly. Oops.
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
What a man can take with a sword, a woman can give by her flesh alone. Life.
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
I never confuse the cost of something with its value
Robin Hobb
How different would our perception of reality be if... we discarded the mundane events that cannot coexist with our dreams?
Robin Hobb
Look forward, not back. Correct your course and go on. You cannot undo yesterday's journey.
Robin Hobb
Love isn't just about feeling sure of the other person, knowing what he would give up for you. It's knowing with certainty what you are willing to surrender for his sake. Make no mistake each partner gives up something. Individual dreams are surrendered for a shared one.
Robin Hobb
When both my editors say 'This is really bad, you need to change this,' I ignore that at my peril.
Robin Hobb
Ah, Catylast, can it be that you do not see all the changes you have made? Some by your resignation and acceptance of circumstance, some by your wild struggles. You say that you hate change, but you *are* change. The Fool in Fool's Fate
Robin Hobb
One had a knife. But I had a staff and was trained to use it.
Robin Hobb
Tomorrow owes you the sum of your yesterdays. No more than that. And no less.
Robin Hobb
But a living is not a life.
Robin Hobb
Perhaps having the courage to find a better path is having the courage to risk making new mistakes.
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
One can only walk so far from one's true self before the bond either snaps, or pulls one back.
