I am the King's Fool. He is the King-In-Wating. Let him wait.
Robin HobbIt is like being two foreigners, trapped in a land we have come to, unable to return to our own, and having only each other to confirm the reality of the place we once lived.
Robin HobbTag: old-age
People are intimidated by a man who acts with no apparent regard for consequences. Behave as if you cannot be touched and no one will dare to touch you.
Robin HobbNenhum inimigo, bem sabia, é mais temível do que aquele que ferimos gravemente.
Robin HobbDepois daquilo comecei a desejar esclarecer as coisas com o Bobo. Como um dente doloroso, remoí uma e outra vez o que lhe queria dizer.
Robin HobbTinha andado a manter um silêncio amuado para com ele, esperando avidamente que me perguntasse que bicho me tinha mordido. O problema era que ele não o fazia. Haverá alguma coisa mais provocadora do que esperar que alguém comece uma discussão?

Robin HobbLife is a balance. We tend to forget that as we go blithely from day to day. We eat and drink and sleep and assume that we will always rise up the next day, that meals and rest will always replenish us. Injuries we expect to heal, and pain to lessen as times goes by. Even when we are faced with wounds that heal more slowly, with pain that lessens by day only to return in full force at nightfall, even when sleep does not leave us rested, we still expect that somehow tomorrow all will come back into balance and that we will go on. At some point, the exquisite balance has tipped, and despite all our flailing efforts, we begin the slow fall from the body that maintains itself to the body that struggles, nails clawing, to cling to what it used to be.

"Those you may keep," Kennit replied.
