Robin Hobb Quote: “The problem is not that we forget the past. It is that we recall it too well. Children recall wrongs that enemies did to their grandfathers, and blame the granddaughters of the old enemies. Children are not born with memories of those who insulted their mother or slew their grandfather or stole their land. Those hates are bequeathed to them, taught them, breathed into them. If adults didn’t tell their children of their hereditary hates, perhaps we would do better.”
Robin Hobb Quote: “Bee, I will always choose to believe you first. So it is your serious responsibility to be righteous in what you do. It is the pact that must exist between us.”
Robin Hobb Quote: “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.”
Robin Hobb Quote: “You steal the now of my life away, when you constantly fear that tomorrow will bring my death. Your fears clutch cold at me and snatch all my pleasure in the day’s warmth from me. As.”
Robin Hobb Quote: “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.”
Robin Hobb Quote: “There is no more slippery task than to refrain from thinking of something.”
Robin Hobb Quote: “When you borrow trouble against what might be, you neglect the moment you have now to enjoy.”
Robin Hobb Quote: “Men walking a battlefield to search for wounded among the dead will still stop to cough, to blow their noses, still lift their eyes to watch a V of geese in flight. I have seen farmers continue their plowing and planting, heedless of armies clashing but a few miles away.”
Robin Hobb Quote: “Any future can be!” she replied, laughing at me. “If it were not so, if it were fixed, it would be a past. You say a foolish thing. How can a future be impossible?”

Robin Hobb Quote: “Blind funny little creatures they were, fumbling in the midst of a love they feared to acknowledge. To win, all they had to do was surrender but they could not perceive that. The beauty of what they could have been together made him ache. Is was a love he had been seeking all his life, a love to redeem and perfect him. That which he most desired, they feared and avoided.”
Robin Hobb Quote: “A boy is a man when he proves himself to be one, but a girl is a woman when she desires to be one.”
Robin Hobb Quote: “Keeping a child from harm is not the same as rearing one.”
Robin Hobb Quote: “What you are born to be, you will be, whether it be priest or sailor. So step up and be it. Let them do nothing to you. Be the one who shapes yourself.”
Robin Hobb Quote: “But a wall that will not yield to a battering ram can still be breached by the gentle twining of ivy.”
Robin Hobb Quote: “Be the night. Not the wind that stirs the trees, not even the soundless owl a-wing or the tiny mouse crouched motionless. Be the night that flows over all, touching without being felt. For night is a cat.”
Robin Hobb Quote: “Leave old pains alone. When they cease coming to call, do not invite them back.”
Robin Hobb Quote: “There is a saying from the Southlands that there is truth in wine. There must be a bit of it in ale, also.”
Robin Hobb Quote: “Patience had once counseled me that the best way to stop pitying myself was to do something for someone else.”
Robin Hobb Quote: “I could set aside my responsibilities to others and live my life as I pleased only when I also severed my ties to them. I could not have it both ways. To be part of a family, or any community, is to have duties and responsibilities, to be bound by the rules of that group.”
Robin Hobb Quote: “Ten times dead was very dead indeed.”

Robin Hobb Quote: “How much do you understand?’ I demanded of her one afternoon. She cocked her head at me, met my gaze and demanded, ‘How much do YOU understand?”
Robin Hobb Quote: “Each circle spins off a circle of its own. Each one seems a new thing but in truth it is not. It is just our most recent attempt to correct old errors, to undo old wrongs done to us, and to make up for things we have neglected. In each cycle, we may correct old errors, but I think we make as many new ones. Yet what is our alternative? To commit the same old errors again? Perhaps having the courage to find a better path is having the courage to risk making new mistakes.”
Robin Hobb Quote: “Even if you do only a little damage, they will learn that touching you has a price. Some will not be willing to pay it. I.”
Robin Hobb Quote: “If all of her was not enough for him, then let him have none of her and seek what he needed elsewhere.”
Robin Hobb Quote: “Choose a place to take a stand. Not where they can corner you but not where they can surround you, either. Find a weapon, a stick, a rock, anything. If you cannot escape, make them pay as dearly as you can for capturing you. Fight them all the way.”
Robin Hobb Quote: “All that is of dragons belongs only to dragons.”
Robin Hobb Quote: “Name it as you will, claim it as you will, the world does not belong to men. Men belong to the world.”
Robin Hobb Quote: “I have known beauties and joys that tried my heart’s strength as surely as the tragedies and uglinesses have.”
Robin Hobb Quote: “Take all self-determination from a man’s life, and all that is left for him to do is complain.”
Robin Hobb Quote: “Then in general charge of the pack beasts and wagon animals. But it wasn’t just work he taught me. Cleanliness. Honesty. He put a value on what my mother and grandmother had tried to instill in me so long ago. He showed them to me as a man’s values, not just manners for inside a woman’s house. He taught me to be a man, not a beast in a man’s shape. He made me see it was more than rules, it was a way of being. A life, rather than a living.” He.”
Robin Hobb Quote: “Doing something stupid and reckless is not a better proof of your love than doing something measured and powerful.”
Robin Hobb Quote: “In the dead of night I stirred. Wakefulness flowed back into me. I was a cup full of sorrow, but that sorrow was stilled, like a pain that abates as long as one does not move.”
Robin Hobb Quote: “Surrendering that pain to stone had deadened me in a way that was a relief, but there was a darker side to that forgetting. I’ve seen folk who numbed their pain with strong drink or Smoke or other herbs and always the loss of their pain made them less connected. Less human. And so it was with me. Every.”
Robin Hobb Quote: “I have been in howling storms in which a shout is reduced to a whisper, moved across the sea’s featureless face in a gray fog that does not yield to human eyes.”

Robin Hobb Quote: “There are always choices. But sometimes there are no good ones.”
Robin Hobb Quote: “Vengeance took no account of innocence or right. It was the chain that bound horrific events together, that decreed that one awful act must beget another worse one that would lead to yet a third. It came to me, slowly, that this chain would never end.”
Robin Hobb Quote: “Even now. Even when I feel like most of me is dead, life breaks through sometimes. Food tastes good. Or something Per says makes me laugh. A hot cup of tea when I’m cold and wet. I’ve thought of ending my life, Fool. I admit it. But always, no matter the damage to it, the body tries to go on. And if it manages to, then the mind follows it. Eventually, no matter how I try to deny it, there are bits of my life that are still sweet. A conversation with an old friend. Things I am still glad to have.”
Robin Hobb Quote: “The fire of my burning past sent odd shadows snaking ahead of us as we made our way into the storm’s resurgence.”
