What has made me most proud - the things that I've done that I feel the most pride about - is helping people care about making the world better.
Patrick Rothfuss
Don't get me wrong, magic is cool. But a nervous mother singing to her child at night while something moves quietly through the dark outside her house? That's a story. Handled properly, it's more dramatic than any apocalypse or goblin army could ever be.
Patrick Rothfuss
Auri, I asked slowly, are you joking with me? She looked up and grinned. Yes I am, she said proudly. Isn't it wonderful?
Patrick Rothfuss
If you are going to impose your will on the world, you must have control over what you believe.

That's all that really matters in the end. Stories.
Patrick Rothfuss
We need time to relax and enjoy ourselves too, no matter how dark the story. The occasional humorous moment helps with that. That's one of the things that Joss Whedon excels at in his storytelling.
Patrick Rothfuss
There is a sort of camaraderie that rarely exists except between men who have fought the same enemies and know the same women.
Patrick Rothfuss
Beer dulls a memory, brand sets it burning, but wine is the best for a sore heart's yearning.
Patrick Rothfuss
But sometimes the best help a person can find is helping someone else.
Patrick Rothfuss
Performance and music are inexorably tied together. And hell, I'll watch Brittany's Toxic music video all day. But there's a difference between that and listening to Leo Kottke play guitar. One is entertainment. The other is Music.
Patrick Rothfuss
For me, language is something that I've always loved. When I read, that's what I look for. When I write, that's what I strive for.
Patrick Rothfuss
It might not be true, but that doesn't mean it's nonsense.
Patrick Rothfuss
Now that I understand how publishing schedules work, I can understand why many authors have the sophomore slump. A year is a long time to wait for a sequel, but it's a short, short time to WRITE a sequel.
Patrick Rothfuss
Practice makes the master.
