Patrick Rothfuss
Don't get me wrong, magic is cool. But a nervous mother singing to her child at night while something moves quietly through the dark outside her house? That's a story. Handled properly, it's more dramatic than any apocalypse or goblin army could ever be.
Patrick Rothfuss
My bad luck got tangled up with my bad decisions, and I'm paying for it.
Patrick Rothfuss
Owls are wise. They are careful and patient. Wisdom precludes boldness. That is why owls make poor heroes.
Patrick Rothfuss
You are not wise enough to fear me as I should be feared.
Patrick Rothfuss
It's hard for me to take myself too seriously when I'm constantly experiencing firsthand what an incredible gimp I can be.
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
