More quotes by Patrick Rothfuss
I also felt guilty about the three pens I'd stolen, but only for a second. And since there was no convenient way to give them back, I stole a bottle of ink before I left.
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
I'm pretty good at putting up drywall and I'm an excellent kisser. That's pretty much all of my skills right there.
Patrick Rothfuss
The truth is I've worked a lot of things people would consider shitty jobs but I've never really hated any of them.
Patrick Rothfuss
On his first hand he wore rings of stone, Iron, Amber, Wood and Bone. There were rings unseen on his second hand, One was blood in a flowing band, One was air all whisper thin, And the ring of ice had a flaw within. Full faintly shone the ring of flame, And the final ring was without name.

Reading is professionally important for me to keep tuned in to what's being written in my genre, let's not lie. But that's not the reason I read. I read for my own emotional and mental health. If I stopped reading, I'd probably just die.
Patrick Rothfuss
This is the nature of love. Vashet said. To attempt to describe it will drive a woman mad. This is what keeps poets scribbling endlessly away. If one could pin it to paper all complete, the others would lay down their pens. But it cannot be done.
Patrick Rothfuss
He was giving me enough rope to hang myself with. Apparently he didn't realize that once a noose is tied it will fit one neck as easily as another.
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.
Patrick Rothfuss
If you're going to have a book full of clever people and nobody ever jokes, it's just not going to ring true to the reader. That said, humor writing is the hardest kind of writing there is.
Patrick Rothfuss
Just pity him, my boy. Tomorrow we'll be on our way, but he'll have to keep his own disagreeable company until the day he dies.
Patrick Rothfuss
“I will admit, I've never had a student offer himself up for a vicious beating in order to prove he's worth my time.” “This was nothing... Once I jumped off a roof.”
Patrick Rothfuss
We try to spread the word about the charity by doing fun little stunts to catch people's attention. Like when Hank Green did a music video for us.
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
I was nervous about writing Slow Regard.
Patrick Rothfuss
Roses! I swear you men have all your romance from the same worn book. Flowers are a good thing, a sweet thing to give a lady. But it is always roses, always red, and always perfect hothouse blooms when they can come by them.
Patrick Rothfuss
I need you to breathe for me.
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
The desire for knowledge shapes a man.
Patrick Rothfuss
Each book needs a good beginning and a good ending. People get pissed off when you don't close things off properly at the end.
