Robin Hobb: "If I am to be measured, let me be measured by what I have done and not by what others believe of me."

Why This Quote Matters

This self-love quote comes from Royal Assassin by Robin Hobb. Fantasy has a way of saying true things about real life, and this line rewards a second read.

Notice what comes up when you sit with it for a moment. The lines that stay with us are rarely the loudest ones. They are the ones that name something we already felt but had not yet put into words.

If this one landed, save it. Come back to it on a day when you need the reminder, and pass it on to someone who would feel it too.
