My favourite member of the Beatles is Lennon. He might have been crazy. But he's my kind of crazy.
Patrick Rothfuss
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.

Whenever you write a character, you want to make them themselves, you want to make them unique. You don't want fifty characters in your book and they all pretty much act and think the same except they have different colored hair.

I'd love to take a stab at writing videogames. There are a lot of storytelling opportunities that really aren't being taken advantage of in that field. I'd like to experiment with telling a truly non-linear story.
Patrick Rothfuss
I'm not a role model. I'm an aberation. A statistical anomoly. Following in my footsteps is about the dumbest thing you could ever do.
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.

Sleep marks passing time, giving us distance from the things that have hurt us. When a person is wounded they will often fall unconscious. Similarly, someone who hears traumatic news will often swoon or faint. This is the mind's way of protecting itself from pain.
Patrick Rothfuss
There is some conflict between religion and science in my world, but that's nothing new. Science, at its root, is a rational discipline. Religion, on the other hand, is fundamentally trans-rational. Both of them attempt to solve problems, but since their methodology is vastly different, they can't help but come into conflict.
Patrick Rothfuss
I will say the most raw joy I've experienced reading has probably come from the times I've been reading with my little boys.
Patrick Rothfuss
I am no poet. I do not love words for the sake of words. I love words for what they can accomplish. Similarly, I am no arithmetician. Numbers that speak only of numbers are of little interest to me.
Patrick Rothfuss
Metal rusts, music lasts forever.
Patrick Rothfuss
The truth is I've worked a lot of things people would consider shitty jobs but I've never really hated any of them.
Patrick Rothfuss
Secrets of the heart. We swallow hard against them every day, forcing them deep inside us. There they sit, growing heavier, festering. Given enough time, they cannot help but crush the heart that holds them.
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
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
All stories are true, Skarpi said. But this one really happened, if that's what you mean.
Patrick Rothfuss
When you read a fantasy novel part of the fun is getting to explore a new world. Everyone knows that. But I believe the same is true about characters. You can explore interesting people in the same way that you explore a town or a culture.

I loved college. I wish I was still taking classes instead of teaching them.
