We need to read good books, and for that to happen, we need to share good books.
Patrick Rothfuss
I love worldbuilding. It's as much fun for me as writing itself. It's like a hobby of mine.
Patrick Rothfuss
I always read. You know how sharks have to keep swimming or they die? I’m like that. If I stop reading, I die.

That's all that really matters in the end. Stories.

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's hard for a newbie author to get noticed.
Patrick Rothfuss
Remember this son, if you forget everything else. A poet is a musician who can't sing. Words have to find a man's mind before they can touch his heart. And, some men's minds are woeful small targets. Music touches their hearts directly, no matter how small or stubborn the mind of the man who listens.

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
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 good thing about working on the books for 14 years before they hit the shelves is that I worked out most of the kinks long before they were published.
Patrick Rothfuss
My favourite member of the Beatles is Lennon. He might have been crazy. But he's my kind of crazy.
Patrick Rothfuss
Fantasy is a genre that allows me to create anything I want. That, in turn, allows me to explore any sort of idea I'm curious about. I love it because Fantasy is a genre that asks, What if...? That's my favorite question.
Patrick Rothfuss
I don't really have a lot of expensive tastes. What else am I really going to do with my money? Buy a little red sports car? Wear a lot of jewelry? Build a castle? Well... I might do the last one. Maybe. Eventually. But that doesn't mean I can't run Worldbuilders too.
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.
Patrick Rothfuss
The cost of a loaf is a simple thing, and so a loaf is often sought, but some things are past valuing: laughter, land, and love are never bought.
Patrick Rothfuss
We need time to relax and enjoy ourselves too, no matter how dark the story. The occasional humorous moment helps with that. That's one of the things that Joss Whedon excels at in his storytelling.
