How different would our perception of reality be if... we discarded the mundane events that cannot coexist with our dreams?
Robin HobbDon't listen to people who tell you that very few people get published and you won't be one of them. Don't listen to your friend who says you are better that Tolkien and don't have to try any more. Keep writing, keep faith in the idea that you have unique stories to tell, and tell them.
Robin HobbEverybody has felt at one time or another that everyone else in the world had a better shot than they did, so when you engage that, you engage the reader, and I think you create a character that brings the reader more fully into the story.
Robin HobbWhat good is a life lived as if it made no difference at all to the great life of the world? - Fool
Robin HobbA time when it is far too early to arise, but so late that going to bed makes small sense.
Robin HobbRemember with your heart. Go back, go back and go back. The skies of this world were always meant to have dragons. When they are not here, humans miss them. Some never think of them, of course. But some children, from the time they are small, they look up at the blue summer sky and watch for something that never comes. Because they know. Something that was supposed to be there faded and vanished. Something that we must bring back, you and I.
