More quotes by Patrick Rothfuss
It is quite a thing. There are so many men, all endlessly trying to sweep me off my feet. And there is one of you, trying just the opposite. Making sure my feet are firm beneath me lest I fall.
Patrick Rothfuss
Sometimes I go outside after a long stretch of writing and I'm surprised it's not raining. Or that it's daylight. Or that it's not the middle of winter. I don't know if that level of immersion is normal, but it's now I do things. I like it. It works well for me.
Patrick Rothfuss
We need to read good books, and for that to happen, we need to share good books.
Patrick Rothfuss
If there is one thing I will not abide it is the folly of a willful pride.
Patrick Rothfuss
Hespe's mouth went firm. She didn't scowl exactly, but it looked like she was getting all the pieces of a scowl together in one place, just in case she needed them in a hurry.
Patrick Rothfuss
There are two sure ways to lose a friend, one is to borrow, the other to lend.

I learned to love the feel of good words.

I'd love to take a stab at writing videogames. There are a lot of storytelling opportunities that really aren't being taken advantage of in that field. I'd like to experiment with telling a truly non-linear story.

It wasn't even a good note. 'If you are reading this I am probably dead.' What sort of a note is that?
Patrick Rothfuss
Half a King is my favorite book by Joe Abercrombie so far, and that's saying something.
Patrick Rothfuss
...if I have ever met someone without a single shadow on their heart, it was surely a child too young for speaking.
Patrick Rothfuss
Now it's virtually impossible to write a game that successfully provides challenge and frustration, and that's a shame. We are going to lose something that makes scientists, that makes doers, that makes hard-minded, witty, clever people, and I worry that those people aren't being made these days.
Patrick Rothfuss
That was another lesson I had learned perhaps too well: people meant pain.
Patrick Rothfuss
But sometimes the best help a person can find is helping someone else.
Patrick Rothfuss
But to love something despite. To know the flaws and love them too. This is rare and pure and perfect.
Patrick Rothfuss
Practice makes the master.
Patrick Rothfuss
This is the nature of love. Vashet said. To attempt to describe it will drive a woman mad. This is what keeps poets scribbling endlessly away. If one could pin it to paper all complete, the others would lay down their pens. But it cannot be done.
Patrick Rothfuss
I don't speak fluent bumpkin.
Patrick Rothfuss
He was giving me enough rope to hang myself with. Apparently he didn't realize that once a noose is tied it will fit one neck as easily as another.
Patrick Rothfuss
It was only then I realized I didn't know the name of Elodin's class. I leafed through the ledger until I spotted Elodin's name, then ran my finger back to where the title of the class was listed in fresh dark ink: Introduction to Not Being a Stupid Jackass. I sighed and penned my name in the single blank space beneath.
