More quotes by Patrick Rothfuss
It gets tiresome being spoken to as if you are a child, even if you happen to be one.
Patrick Rothfuss
Sometimes I go outside after a long stretch of writing and I'm surprised it's not raining. Or that it's daylight. Or that it's not the middle of winter. I don't know if that level of immersion is normal, but it's now I do things. I like it. It works well for me.
Patrick Rothfuss
Perhaps the greatest faculty our minds possess is the ability to cope with pain.

The framed tale is, in my opinion, one of the most natural ways to tell a story. If you think of it, the conceit of the frame-less story is actually the odd way of doing things. Without the frame, how do you know the context for a story?
Patrick Rothfuss
I'm honestly not a big fan of pitching things. I'm a firm believer of letting the product speak for iteself.
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.

Fencing is more a sport than a martial art. It would be like basing your knowledge of roman phalanx warfare on NFL football.

I need you to breathe for me.

What I'd love more than anything is for Worldbuilders to continue to grow and become entangled in all the different corners of the geek community.

Metal rusts, music lasts forever.
Patrick Rothfuss
Humor is important. If you're going to tell any sort of realistic story, you're going to have to have humor in it, because people are funny. Clever people especially.
Patrick Rothfuss
There is nothing quite so delightfully mysterious as a secret in your own backyard.
Patrick Rothfuss
Isn't that the way of the world? We want the sweet things, but we need the unpleasant ones.
Patrick Rothfuss
You lack the requisite spine and testicular fortitude to study under me.
Patrick Rothfuss
I think the best part of being an author is that I get to learn about anything I want and explain it away as research.
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
Reading can almost be viewed as empathy training. Movies have better action scenes, sure. But books are uniquely suited to showing you the inside of another person's head. That is the root of empathy. That's the first step to understanding you're not alone in the world.

One of my favorite artists on Deviantart.
Patrick Rothfuss
How odd to watch a mortal kindle / Then to dwindle day by day / Knowing their bright souls are tinder / And the wind will have its way
Patrick Rothfuss
When you love something, you have to make sure it loves you back, or you'll bring about no end of trouble chasing it.
