Tomorrow owes you the sum of your yesterdays. No more than that. And no less.
Robin Hobb
Image

Robin Hobb
Image
Besides, if there were no dragons of flesh and blood and fire, whence would come the idea for these stone carvings?
Robin Hobb
Image
Some people say 'I want to be a writer,' and some people say, 'I want to write.'

Most prisons are of our own making. A man makes his own freedom, too.
Robin Hobb

Robin Hobb
Image
