Just pity him, my boy. Tomorrow we'll be on our way, but he'll have to keep his own disagreeable company until the day he dies.
Patrick Rothfuss
For me the really cool parts of being an author don't have anything to do with getting onto a bestseller list.

We need to read good books, and for that to happen, we need to share good books.

It's my belief that you should never show your work to anyone in the publishing world until it shines like a diamond. Rough drafts don't shine, as a rule. Mine certainly didn't. That's why I was rejected for years and years.
Patrick Rothfuss
We try to spread the word about the charity by doing fun little stunts to catch people's attention. Like when Hank Green did a music video for us.

If you're an actor, you know people are going to recognize you in a restaurant. If you're a rock star, you know people are going to stop you on the street and ask you for your autograph. But as an author? That's not something I was ready for.
Patrick Rothfuss
I need you to breathe for me.
Patrick Rothfuss
Secrets of the heart. We swallow hard against them every day, forcing them deep inside us. There they sit, growing heavier, festering. Given enough time, they cannot help but crush the heart that holds them.
Patrick Rothfuss
...it is better to have a mouthful of poison than a secret of the heart.
Patrick Rothfuss
This is the nature of love. Vashet said. To attempt to describe it will drive a woman mad. This is what keeps poets scribbling endlessly away. If one could pin it to paper all complete, the others would lay down their pens. But it cannot be done.
Patrick Rothfuss
The cost of a loaf is a simple thing, and so a loaf is often sought, but some things are past valuing: laughter, land, and love are never bought.
Patrick Rothfuss
I can sell anything to anyone. That is actually my superpower. I am really good at negotiating and persuading.
Patrick Rothfuss
It's hard for a newbie author to get noticed.
Patrick Rothfuss
Character is half the reason we read. We're excited because of the plot, but we care because of the characters.
