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
Thieves, Heretics, and Whores
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
Character is half the reason we read. We're excited because of the plot, but we care because of the characters.
Patrick Rothfuss
My favourite member of the Beatles is Lennon. He might have been crazy. But he's my kind of crazy.
Patrick Rothfuss
I don't feel beholden to follow the real world at all. The important thing is to know WHY things turned out the way they did. You need to understand the reasons for events, or at least be able to make reasonable guesses about them.
Patrick Rothfuss
I have, of course, been called many other things. Most of them uncouth, although very few were unearned

Hours later the blank sheet still stared at me, and I beat my fist against the desk in fury and fustration, striking it so hard my hand bled. That is how heavy a secret can become. It can make blood flow easier than ink.
Patrick Rothfuss
Fencing is more a sport than a martial art. It would be like basing your knowledge of roman phalanx warfare on NFL football.

I guess I'm destined to be loveless
Patrick Rothfuss
Just handle the books gently and you’ll get along fine.

I walked across the polished marble floor and sat on a red velvet lounging couch. I idly wondered how exactly one was supposed to lounge. I couldn't remember ever doing it myself. After a moment's consideration, I decided lounging was probably similar to relaxing, but with more money in your pocket.

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.
Patrick Rothfuss
With slow care rather than stealth we must approach the subject of a certain woman. Her wildness is of such degree, I fear approaching her too quickly even in a story. Should I move recklessly, I might startle even the idea of her into sudden flight.
Patrick Rothfuss
I have no balance. My life is a hot mess.

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.
Patrick Rothfuss
I love worldbuilding. It's as much fun for me as writing itself. It's like a hobby of mine.
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.

Abenthy gave me an appraising look. I'd been waiting for it. It was the look that said, You don't sound as young as you look. I hoped he'd come to grips with it fairly soon. It gets tiresome being spoken to as if you are a child, even if you happen to be one.

You may have heard of me.
