“Time is an unkind teacher, delivering lessons that we learn far too late for them to be useful. Years after I could have benefited from them, the insights come to me.”
“I was almost annoyed at her for spoiling my perfectly good sulk.”
“When we are children, we believe that our elders know all and that even when we cannot understand the world, they can make sense of it. Even after we are grown, in moments of fear or sorrow, we still turn instinctively to the older generation, hoping to finally learn some great hidden lesson about death and pain. Only to learn instead that the only lesson is that life goes on.”
Time is an unkind teacher, delivering lessons that we learn far too late for them to be useful.
"Nothing warned me on that bright day that the darkest time of my life had begun."
"Do not agonize about yesterday. Do not borrow tomorrow's trouble. Let my heart hunt. Rest in the now."

"A secret is only yours so long as you don't share it. Tell it to one person, and it's a secret no more."
"There is, in all honesty, no way to kill someone mercifully."
When the bee to the earth does fall, the butterfly comes back to change all.Reseña sin spoilers (como todas).
There are endings. There are beginnings. Sometimes they coincide, with the ending of one thing marking the beginning of another. But sometimes there is simply a long space after an ending, a time when it seems everything has ended and nothing else can ever begin.Como ya dije, gran parte de Fool's Assassin me resultó aburrida. Literalmente no pasaba casi nada, excepto refacciones hogareñas e introducciones de personajes sin gracia. Sin embargo, una vez leído el final, me dije que, a pesar de los efectos soporíferos que este tomo tuvo en mí, tanta espera valió la pena. En serio. El cierre de este libro es de lo mejor que ha escrito Hobb, quizá empatado con el de Fool's Fate. Asimismo, me deja tranquilo saber que los errores y el lento ritmo que padecí no se repiten en Fool's Quest, así que muero de ganas por saber qué le va a deparar este nuevo camino a los protagonistas de esta saga. El más oscuro de sus vidas.
