Robin Hobb Quotes

Fantasy encompasses a wide, wide spectrum of writing. We have beast fables, we have gothics, we have tales of vampires and werewolves, and we have sword and sorcery; we have epics from Homer, and there is just so much out there that we put under the umbrella of ‘fantasy.’ Picture Quote #1

A while later, I lingered in the hinterlands of sleep. Sometimes I think there is more rest in that place between wakefulness and sleep than there is in true sleep. The mind walks in the twilight of both states, and finds the truths that are hidden alike by daylight and dreams. Things we are not ready to know abide in that place, awaiting that unguarded frame of mind Picture Quote #1

The man who must brag for himself knows that no one else will Picture Quote #1

Death is not the opposite of life, but the opposite of choice Picture Quote #1

I think ever since I started to read, there have been favorite novels for different stages of my life. And one is never bumped out of place to yield to another. Instead, I just add to my favorite shelves Picture Quote #1

Not intending to be funny: I sit at the keyboard, put my fingers on the keys and go. To me, it’s the real secret of writing. Put yourself in front of the screen or the blank sheet of paper and get to work Picture Quote #1

The fight isn’t over until you win Picture Quote #1

The challenge is always to find the good place to end the book. The rule I follow with myself is that every book should end where the next book would logically begin. I know that some readers wish that literally all of the threads would be neatly tied off and snipped, but life just doesn’t work that way Picture Quote #1

Very little worth knowing is taught by fear Picture Quote #1

When you spring to an idea, and decide it is truth, without evidence, you blind yourself to other possibilities Picture Quote #1

Boredom is vastly underrated. Boredom means that nothing is trying to kill you every day Picture Quote #1

There is little in life so reassuring as a genuine welcome Picture Quote #1

Anticipating pain was like enduring it twice. Why not anticipate pleasure instead? Picture Quote #1

One must plan for the future and anticipate the future without fearing the future Picture Quote #1

Tomorrow owes you the sum of your yesterdays. No more than that. And no less Picture Quote #1

Nothing takes the heart out of a man more than the expectation of failure Picture Quote #1

Be a man. Discover where you are now, and go on from there, making the best of things. accept your life, and you might survive it. If you hold back from it, insisting this is not your life, not where you are meant to be, life will pass you by. You may not die from such foolishness, but you might as well be dead for all the good your life will do you or anyone else Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

Death is always less painful and easier than life! You speak true. And yet we do not, day to day, choose death. Because ultimately, death is not the opposite of life, but the opposite of choice. Death is what you get when there are no choices left to make Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

Sometimes it seems unfair that events so old can reach forward through the years, sinking claws into one’s life and twisting all that follows it. Yet perhaps that is the ultimate justice: we are the sum of all we have done added to the sum of all that has been done to us. There is no escaping that, not for any of us Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

... To free humanity of time. For time is the great enslaver of us all. Time that ages us, time that limits us. Think how often you have wished to have more time for something, or wished you could go back a day and do something differently. When humanity is freed of time, old wrongs can be corrected before they are done Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

I began attempting to write for children under the mistaken assumption that writing for children was easy Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

I think that old magic draws much of its strength from that acknowledgment: that we are a part of that world Picture Quote #1

Do you not see how strange and wonderful that is? That all history balances on an affair of the human heart? Picture Quote #1

Home is people. Not a place. If you go back there after the people are gone, then all you can see is what is not there any more Picture Quote #1
