Patrick Rothfuss
After a certain point is reached the numbers cease to matter, and all that remains is the faceless mass of a crowd.

Patrick Rothfuss
Beer dulls a memory, brand sets it burning, but wine is the best for a sore heart's yearning.
Patrick Rothfuss
We need to read good books, and for that to happen, we need to share good books.

I guess I'm destined to be loveless
Patrick Rothfuss
The good thing about working on the books for 14 years before they hit the shelves is that I worked out most of the kinks long before they were published.
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.

Thieves, Heretics, and Whores
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.
