Simmon pushed his hair out of his eyes, laughing boyishly. You can't argue your way out of this one! She's obviously stupid for you. And you're just plain stupid, so it's a great match.

Patrick Rothfuss

Patrick Rothfuss
Do you just want to get by? Or do you want to make me proud?
Patrick Rothfuss
It was wise enough to know itself, and brave enough to be itself, and wild enough to change itself while somehow staying altogether true.
Patrick Rothfuss
The day we fret about the future is the day we leave our childhood behind.
Patrick Rothfuss
Small facts lead to great knowing.

Pride is always a better lever against the nobility than reason.
Patrick Rothfuss
I grew up reading Tolkien, and I love him. But I love him in the way that you love that rambly old grandfather. You have to sit through some pretty off-topic stuff before he starts telling his cool old war stories.
Patrick Rothfuss
Is there a connection between language and magic? Yes. Ten times yes. So much yes that it almost doesn't bear talking about. It's as pointless that arguing that the sun is hot.
Patrick Rothfuss
We need time to relax and enjoy ourselves too, no matter how dark the story. The occasional humorous moment helps with that. That's one of the things that Joss Whedon excels at in his storytelling.
