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.

Robin Hobb
Tomorrow owes you the sum of your yesterdays. No more than that. And no less.
Robin Hobb
The man who must brag for himself knows that no one else will

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
It's too late to apologize for. I have already forgiven you.
Robin Hobb
When you spring to an idea, and decide it is truth, without evidence, you blind yourself to other possibilities.
Robin Hobb
Don’t do what you can’t undo, until you’ve considered what you can’t do once you’ve done it.
Robin Hobb
What a man can take with a sword, a woman can give by her flesh alone. Life.
Robin Hobb
I think that old magic draws much of its strength from that acknowledgment: that we are a part of that world.
Robin Hobb
There is little in life so reassuring as a genuine welcome.
Robin Hobb
Boredom is vastly underrated. Boredom means that nothing is trying to kill you every day.
