More quotes by Patrick Rothfuss
There is nothing quite so delightfully mysterious as a secret in your own backyard.
Patrick Rothfuss
Unfortunately, a lot of fantasy is chock full of sexism and racism. A lot of authors don't even realize they're doing it, and a lot of readers don't know they're reading it. That's what makes it so scary in some cases.
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
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
Is there a connection between language and magic? Yes. Ten times yes. So much yes that it almost doesn't bear talking about. It's as pointless that arguing that the sun is hot.
Patrick Rothfuss
Now that I understand how publishing schedules work, I can understand why many authors have the sophomore slump. A year is a long time to wait for a sequel, but it's a short, short time to WRITE a sequel.
Patrick Rothfuss
I loved college. I wish I was still taking classes instead of teaching them.
Patrick Rothfuss
In brief, worldbuilding is different than setting in my opinion. Setting is a room. A backdrop. It's scenery. But without good worldbuilding, you can't have realistic feeling scenery. You can't have cool, unique backdrops for your story.
Patrick Rothfuss
There is a sort of camaraderie that rarely exists except between men who have fought the same enemies and know the same women.
Patrick Rothfuss
Perhaps the greatest faculty our minds possess is the ability to cope with pain.
Patrick Rothfuss
...if I have ever met someone without a single shadow on their heart, it was surely a child too young for speaking.
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
If your name is getting too heavy, you should have Kvothe give you a new one.
Patrick Rothfuss
As a writer, I first felt successful before I was published.
Patrick Rothfuss
You are not wise enough to fear me as I should be feared.
Patrick Rothfuss
She taught me I should never do anything in private I did not want talked about in public, and cautioned me not to talk in my sleep.
Patrick Rothfuss
Did I ever mention I used to be a delivery driver too? I was. I can read a map. What’s more, using a brilliant mixture of zen navigation, Aristotelian logic, and pure rage I can get you your package and/or delicious sandwich relatively close to on-time.
Patrick Rothfuss
If there is one thing I will not abide it is the folly of a willful pride.
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.
Patrick Rothfuss
I'm not a big fan of overt marketing. I'd much rather just put things out there for people to see. I'm just putting it out there for people to see. If people think this is cool, I'm hoping they'll tell their friends.
