It's hard for a newbie author to get noticed.

Patrick Rothfuss
With slow care rather than stealth we must approach the subject of a certain woman. Her wildness is of such degree, I fear approaching her too quickly even in a story. Should I move recklessly, I might startle even the idea of her into sudden flight.
Patrick Rothfuss

Patrick Rothfuss
Why would I want to win anything other than a beautiful game?
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
Feel free to call me by my first name: Master.
Patrick Rothfuss
All stories are true, Skarpi said. But this one really happened, if that's what you mean.
Patrick Rothfuss
