Truth is a troublesome motherfucker unless it's handled properly
Patrick Rothfuss
For me the really cool parts of being an author don't have anything to do with getting onto a bestseller list.
Patrick Rothfuss
I'm just very careful with my words when I write. Obsessively careful. I'm the sort of person who worries about the difference between slim and slender.
Patrick Rothfuss
Language is inexorably tied to power and understanding. And power and understanding are the roots of magic. Just the act of writing something down is a magical act.
Patrick Rothfuss
The boy grows upward, but the girl grows up.

When you love something, you have to make sure it loves you back, or you'll bring about no end of trouble chasing it.

I'd like to work with some of the videogame companies for the simple fact that they obviously need some sort of writer's help. I play videogames, and lately it's hard for me to enjoy them because I'm spending all my time cringing at the corny dialogue, thin characters, and glaring plot holes.

When you read a fantasy novel part of the fun is getting to explore a new world. Everyone knows that. But I believe the same is true about characters. You can explore interesting people in the same way that you explore a town or a culture.
Patrick Rothfuss
Isn't that the way of the world? We want the sweet things, but we need the unpleasant ones.
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
As a writer, I first felt successful before I was published.
Patrick Rothfuss
I guess I'm destined to be loveless
Patrick Rothfuss
No hard feelings about that time in the Crucible when you mixed my salts and I was nearly blind for a day. No. No, really, drink up!
Patrick Rothfuss
The framed tale is, in my opinion, one of the most natural ways to tell a story. If you think of it, the conceit of the frame-less story is actually the odd way of doing things. Without the frame, how do you know the context for a story?
Patrick Rothfuss
Joss [Whedon] is an excellent storyteller. It really doesn't matter what medium he's working in.
Patrick Rothfuss
Then I played the song that hides in the center of me. That wordless music that moves through the secret places in my heart. I played it carefully, strumming it slow and low into the dark stillness of the night. I would like to say it is a happy song, that it is sweet and bright, but it is not.
