Patrick Rothfuss
He had a bright, reckless tenor that was always wandering off, looking for notes in the wrong places.

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
Feel free to call me by my first name: Master.

I don't really have a lot of expensive tastes. What else am I really going to do with my money? Buy a little red sports car? Wear a lot of jewelry? Build a castle? Well... I might do the last one. Maybe. Eventually. But that doesn't mean I can't run Worldbuilders too.

But then you switch again and you might have a beautiful accident.
Patrick Rothfuss

Patrick Rothfuss
I decided to dub the room with the good chairs my lutery. Or perhaps my performatory. I would need a while to come up with something suitably pretentious.
Patrick Rothfuss
It might not be true, but that doesn't mean it's nonsense.
Patrick Rothfuss
All stories are true.
Patrick Rothfuss
What has made me most proud - the things that I've done that I feel the most pride about - is helping people care about making the world better.
Patrick Rothfuss
I have, of course, been called many other things. Most of them uncouth, although very few were unearned
Patrick Rothfuss
Hours later the blank sheet still stared at me, and I beat my fist against the desk in fury and fustration, striking it so hard my hand bled. That is how heavy a secret can become. It can make blood flow easier than ink.
Patrick Rothfuss
It gets tiresome being spoken to as if you are a child, even if you happen to be one.
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.
Patrick Rothfuss
It's hard to be wrongfully accused, but it's worse when the people looking down on you are clods who have never read a book or traveled more than twenty miles from the place they were born.
Patrick Rothfuss
The day we fret about the future is the day we leave our childhood behind.
