You need to realize that most writing rules aren't laws, they're rules of thumb.
Patrick Rothfuss
That's all that really matters in the end. Stories.
Patrick Rothfuss
You know, I could have carried you.
Patrick Rothfuss
I'm not a speed writer. I write slowly and revise obsessively. The end result tends to be good. That's where my strength is.
Patrick Rothfuss
She taught me I should never do anything in private I did not want talked about in public, and cautioned me not to talk in my sleep.

It's easier to write about heartbreak after you've had your heart broken. You have more material to draw from, you can extrapolate from your own experiences and make reasonable assumptions about how your characters would feel and act.
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
Abenthy gave me an appraising look. I'd been waiting for it. It was the look that said, You don't sound as young as you look. I hoped he'd come to grips with it fairly soon. It gets tiresome being spoken to as if you are a child, even if you happen to be one.
Patrick Rothfuss

Patrick Rothfuss
When we are children we seldom think of the future. This innocence leaves us free to enjoy ourselves as few adults can. The day we fret about the future is the day we leave our childhood behind.
Patrick Rothfuss
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
Over his own dark Cealdish beard. Nothing like your marvelous facebear.
Patrick Rothfuss
My favourite member of the Beatles is Lennon. He might have been crazy. But he's my kind of crazy.
Patrick Rothfuss
It might not be true, but that doesn't mean it's nonsense.
Patrick Rothfuss
Words are pale shadows of forgotten names. As names have power, words have power. Words can light fires in the minds of men. Words can wring tears from the hardest hearts.
Patrick Rothfuss
There is nothing I can't do writing in Fantasy. I can have romance, I can have mystery, I can have drama, I can have good characters - I can have everything you can do in any other genre... plus a dragon.
Patrick Rothfuss
I don't really have a lot of expensive tastes. What else am I really going to do with my money? Buy a little red sports car? Wear a lot of jewelry? Build a castle? Well... I might do the last one. Maybe. Eventually. But that doesn't mean I can't run Worldbuilders too.
Patrick Rothfuss
I guess I'm destined to be loveless
Patrick Rothfuss
How odd to watch a mortal kindle / Then to dwindle day by day / Knowing their bright souls are tinder / And the wind will have its way
Patrick Rothfuss
