(A wolf addressing a human mourning a love lost)
"When I wallow in something dead to reawaken the savour of it, you rebuke me. [...] You should leave off sniffing the carcass of your old life. You may enjoy unending pain. I do not. There is no shame in walking away from bones, [...] nor is there any special wisdom in injuring oneself over and over. What is your loyalty to that pain? To abandon it will not lessen you"

The audiobook is lovely: author Robin Hobb's skilled at writing dialogue for a cat, and the narrator's good at voicing it.
"Hold the cat. You'll feel better."
"I don't think so."
He rubbed against my leg insistently.
"Hold the cat."
"I don't want to hold the cat."
He reared up suddenly on his hind legs, and hooked his vicious little front claws into both flesh and leggings.
"Don't talk back! Pick up the cat."

I'm reading Hobb's work in an unorthodox order (quite accidentally): I started with the Liveship Traders trilogy years ago (and loved it), then went back and read the Farseer trilogy. Recently, I finished The Inheritance, which included a collection of short stories set in the same realm, and decided it's about time I get back to these tales, so from here on, I'll read them in the proper order.
