Quote by Robin Hobb

“Perhaps the greatest thing one can discover is that you can decide who you are. You don't have to be whom the Ludlucks made you. You don't even have to be who you were before that. You can choose. We are all creatures of our own devising.”

“Iubirea e un act de credinta fata de altcineva, iar chipul ei trebuie sa fie intodeauna acoperit de mister. Fiecare moment trebuie trait cu pasiune si emotie, fiindca, daca incercam sa-l descifram si sa-l intelegem , magia dispare. Urmam caile sinuoase si luminoase ale dragostei , ne lasam purtati in cel mai inalt loc de pe pamant sau in cea mai adanca dintre mari, dar acem incredere in mana care ne conduce. Cata vreme nu ne speriem , ne vom trezi mereu intr-un palat; daca ne temem de pasii pe care ni-i cere dragostea si vrem sa ne dezvaluie totul, nu vom mai ramane cu nimic.”

“History is a treadmill turned by rising human numbers. Today GM crops are being marketed as the only means of avoiding mass starvation. They are unlikely to improve the lives of peasant farmers ; but they may well enable them to survive in greater numbers.”
