More quotes by 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.

The desire for knowledge shapes a man.

It is quite a thing. There are so many men, all endlessly trying to sweep me off my feet. And there is one of you, trying just the opposite. Making sure my feet are firm beneath me lest I fall.
Patrick Rothfuss
I have, of course, been called many other things. Most of them uncouth, although very few were unearned

I've got an idea for a modern day faerie tale that I think would made a great short novel. But I just don't have the time to work on it right now. I'm way too busy with the 'Kingkiller Chronicles' and being a new dad.
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 have no balance. My life is a hot mess.

You have to be a bit of a liar to tell a story the right way.
Patrick Rothfuss
On his first hand he wore rings of stone, Iron, Amber, Wood and Bone. There were rings unseen on his second hand, One was blood in a flowing band, One was air all whisper thin, And the ring of ice had a flaw within. Full faintly shone the ring of flame, And the final ring was without name.
Patrick Rothfuss
I can't count the men who have tried to seduce me away from my virtue by teaching me how to defend it.
Patrick Rothfuss
The boy grows upward, but the girl grows up.

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.
Patrick Rothfuss
That was another lesson I had learned perhaps too well: people meant pain.
