Hespe's mouth went firm. She didn't scowl exactly, but it looked like she was getting all the pieces of a scowl together in one place, just in case she needed them in a hurry.

The seeds of the past bear fruit in the present.
Patrick Rothfuss
I'm honestly not a big fan of pitching things. I'm a firm believer of letting the product speak for iteself.
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.

I'd like to work with some of the videogame companies for the simple fact that they obviously need some sort of writer's help. I play videogames, and lately it's hard for me to enjoy them because I'm spending all my time cringing at the corny dialogue, thin characters, and glaring plot holes.

The world is a mess and I just need to rule it.
Patrick Rothfuss
You can have an interesting story about a person living an interesting life. And if it's done well, that is just as engaging as the end of the world. A million people dying - we can't process. One person, we can process.
Patrick Rothfuss
I don't really have a lot of expensive tastes. What else am I really going to do with my money? Buy a little red sports car? Wear a lot of jewelry? Build a castle? Well... I might do the last one. Maybe. Eventually. But that doesn't mean I can't run Worldbuilders too.
Patrick Rothfuss
It gets tiresome being spoken to as if you are a child, even if you happen to be one.
Patrick Rothfuss
Perhaps the greatest faculty our minds possess is the ability to cope with pain.
Patrick Rothfuss
Why would I want to win anything other than a beautiful game?
Patrick Rothfuss
I don't speak fluent bumpkin.
Patrick Rothfuss
I want a magical horse that fits in my pocket, Wil said. And a ring of red amber that gives me power over demons. And an endless supply of cake.
Patrick Rothfuss
That's all that really matters in the end. Stories.
Patrick Rothfuss
It was the patient, cut-flower sound of a man who is waiting to die.
Patrick Rothfuss
What were you thinking? Bast said with an odd mixture of confusion and concern. Coat was a long while in answering. I tend to think too much Bast. My greatest successes tended to come when I stopped thinking and simply did what felt right, even if there was no explantion for what I did.
