Pride is always a better lever against the nobility than reason.
Patrick Rothfuss
What has made me most proud - the things that I've done that I feel the most pride about - is helping people care about making the world better.

It was only then I realized I didn't know the name of Elodin's class. I leafed through the ledger until I spotted Elodin's name, then ran my finger back to where the title of the class was listed in fresh dark ink: Introduction to Not Being a Stupid Jackass. I sighed and penned my name in the single blank space beneath.

She looked at me. What? Is there something wrong with my idea? It's not very heroic, I said dismissively. I was expecting something with a little more flair. Well, I left my armor and warhorse at home, she said. You're just upset because your big University brain couldn't think of a way, and my plan is brilliant.

I was nervous about writing Slow Regard.
Patrick Rothfuss
You are an educated man. You know there are no such things as demons. Bast smiled a terrible smile. There is only my kind. Bast leaned closer still, Chronicler smelled flowers on his breath. You are not wise enough to fear me as I should be feared. You do not know the first note of the music that moves me.

I have a blog where I keep in touch with my fans. I write about things that are important to me. Sometimes on there I'll just tell a little story about the things that happen in my everyday life. People seem to enjoy them well enough.

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
When the hearthfire turns to blue, what to do? what to do? run outside, run and hide when his eyes are black as crow? where to go? where to go? near and far. Here they are. see a man without a face? move like ghosts from place to place. whats their plan? whats their plan? Chandrian. Chandrian

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.

When someone writes something dazzlingly brilliant, people want to imitate it. The result is a lot of less-than-brilliant knock-offs. Elves, Dwarves, Goblin army, cursed ring, evil sorcerer. Tolkien did it. It rocked. Let's move on. Let's do something new.

Just handle the books gently and you’ll get along fine.

If you fall, you fall, Elodin shrugged. Sometimes falling teaches us things too. In dreams you often fall before you wake.
