Quote by Robin Hobb

“I had a strange sense of something waiting for me. It hovered, unable to take shape without my volition. I had the strangest sensation of standing on the edge of a cliff. One more step, and I would either plummet to my death, or discover I could fly.”

“I do not desire to offend anyone; this is my observation, which goes against the beliefs of the astrologers of this world. It is my belief that we are born with the desire to experience Rahu, the North Node. However, due to our past karma and unfinished obligations from the past lives, we end up living and experiencing that which is represented by Ketu, the South Node. Through this purpose, we are forced to learn to be completely detached from our earthly desires which are represented by Rahu, the North Node. Then once we have totally surrendered to Ketu, the South Node, and served all of our past karmas, we then gain the true liberation. And if when the past karma and obligations have been paid off, we are still in our bodies, we then finally get to experience Rahu, the North Node. With that insight, I think that we ought not to seek our Rahu, the North Node, but to fulfill all the past obligations which have been given to us through Ketu, the South Node.”

“She’s just burning up with ambition, but the poor bunny’s got nowhere to put it. I don’t think the Patented Pellam System for Prevailing Over the Perils of Pubescence would be of much help. 1. Stop speaking to your parents 2. Run away from your planet 3. Take off your clothes as often as possible, but only while reciting Shakespeare (and being paid scale) 4. Buy a cat 5. Drink your milk 6. Mug your destiny in an alley and punch it until it gives you what you want”

“Ми зробили ставку на команду, що програвала. Нам ніби було й не звикати, бо Болгарія завжди програвала, але людина ніколи не звикає. А голландці грали чудово. «Так нечесно, хороші ж завжди перемагають», — гримаю я своїм маленьким кулаком по столі. Намагаюся сердитися більше, ніж батько. Батько повертається до мене і каже: «Бачиш, старий (так він мене називав), життя — це дещо більше, ніж просто поразка».”
