You may have heard of me.
Patrick Rothfuss
Here's the thing: Authors live or die by recommendations. [That's one of the reason I review so many books on Goodreads.] Giving books you love good reviews is one of the nicest things you can do for an author. What's more it's good for the entire community.
Patrick Rothfuss
Now that I understand how publishing schedules work, I can understand why many authors have the sophomore slump. A year is a long time to wait for a sequel, but it's a short, short time to WRITE a sequel.
Patrick Rothfuss
...hear rumors and go digging for the painful truth beneath the lovely lies. You believe you have a right to these things, but you don't. When someone tells you a piece of their life, they're giving you a gift, not granting you your due.
Patrick Rothfuss
No hard feelings about that time in the Crucible when you mixed my salts and I was nearly blind for a day. No. No, really, drink up!

The truth is that the world is full of dragons, and none of us are as powerful or cool as we’d like to be. And that sucks. But when you’re confronted with that fact, you can either crawl into a hole and quit, or you can get out there, take off your shoes, and Bilbo it up.

Patrick Rothfuss
Over his own dark Cealdish beard. Nothing like your marvelous facebear.
Patrick Rothfuss
That is like throwing two virgins into a bed. Enthusiasm, passion, and ignorance are not a good combination. Someone is likely to get hurt.
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 take back everything I ever said about that boy being clever. He turned around to face the bar while leveling an accusatory finger at the closed door. That, he said firmly to the room in general, is what comes of working with iron every day.
Patrick Rothfuss
The world is a mess and I just need to rule it.
Patrick Rothfuss
Old Cob tucked away his bowl of stew with the predatory efficency of a lifetime bachelor.
Patrick Rothfuss
I'm pretty good at putting up drywall and I'm an excellent kisser. That's pretty much all of my skills right there.
Patrick Rothfuss
Its like he knows he's better than you, but doesn't look down on you for it because he knows it's not your fault.
Patrick Rothfuss
You can't write good characters if you can't imagine what it's like being in another person's skin. And if you can imagine that, you naturally want other people's lives to be better. You want to make that happen.
Patrick Rothfuss
If you fall, you fall, Elodin shrugged. Sometimes falling teaches us things too. In dreams you often fall before you wake.
Patrick Rothfuss
The seeds of the past bear fruit in the present.
