Patrick Rothfuss
If you're an actor, you know people are going to recognize you in a restaurant. If you're a rock star, you know people are going to stop you on the street and ask you for your autograph. But as an author? That's not something I was ready for.
Patrick Rothfuss
The desire for knowledge shapes a man.
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.

I take back everything I ever said about that boy being clever. He turned around to face the bar while leveling an accusatory finger at the closed door. That, he said firmly to the room in general, is what comes of working with iron every day.
Patrick Rothfuss
What I'd love more than anything is for Worldbuilders to continue to grow and become entangled in all the different corners of the geek community.
Patrick Rothfuss
If there is one thing I will not abide it is the folly of a willful pride.
Patrick Rothfuss
