Patrick Rothfuss
We need to read good books, and for that to happen, we need to share good books.
Patrick Rothfuss
I grew up reading Tolkien, and I love him. But I love him in the way that you love that rambly old grandfather. You have to sit through some pretty off-topic stuff before he starts telling his cool old war stories.
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

Patrick Rothfuss
Is there a connection between language and magic? Yes. Ten times yes. So much yes that it almost doesn't bear talking about. It's as pointless that arguing that the sun is hot.
Patrick Rothfuss
Denna is a wild thing, I explained. Like a hind or a summer storm. If a storm blows down your house, or breaks a tree, you don't say the storm was mean. It was cruel. It acted according to its nature and something unfortunately was hurt. The same is true of Denna.
Patrick Rothfuss
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.
Patrick Rothfuss
Why would I want to win anything other than a beautiful game?
Patrick Rothfuss
Just handle the books gently and you’ll get along fine.
Patrick Rothfuss
That is how heavy a secret can become. It can make blood flow easier than ink.
Patrick Rothfuss
Stories only happen to people who can tell them.
Patrick Rothfuss
It's hard for me to take myself too seriously when I'm constantly experiencing firsthand what an incredible gimp I can be.
Patrick Rothfuss
You lack the requisite spine and testicular fortitude to study under me.
