Patrick Rothfuss
Owls are wise. They are careful and patient. Wisdom precludes boldness. That is why owls make poor heroes.
Patrick Rothfuss
But how awful would that be? How terrible to live surrounded by the stark, sharp, hollowness of things that simply were enough?
Patrick Rothfuss
That's all that really matters in the end. Stories.
Patrick Rothfuss
That is how heavy a secret can become. It can make blood flow easier than ink.
Patrick Rothfuss
Why would I want to win anything other than a beautiful game?
Patrick Rothfuss
You need to realize that most writing rules aren't laws, they're rules of thumb.
Patrick Rothfuss
Joss [Whedon] is an excellent storyteller. It really doesn't matter what medium he's working in.
Patrick Rothfuss
...hear rumors and go digging for the painful truth beneath the lovely lies. You believe you have a right to these things, but you don't. When someone tells you a piece of their life, they're giving you a gift, not granting you your due.
Patrick Rothfuss
