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.

More quotes by Patrick Rothfuss
He had a bright, reckless tenor that was always wandering off, looking for notes in the wrong places.
Patrick Rothfuss
There is only one Whedon, and I am his prophet.
Patrick Rothfuss
She was a wicked thing sometimes. All full of want. As if the shape of the world depended on her mood. As if she were important.
Patrick Rothfuss
There is some conflict between religion and science in my world, but that's nothing new. Science, at its root, is a rational discipline. Religion, on the other hand, is fundamentally trans-rational. Both of them attempt to solve problems, but since their methodology is vastly different, they can't help but come into conflict.
Patrick Rothfuss
You have to be a bit of a liar to tell a story the right way.
Patrick Rothfuss
Roses! I swear you men have all your romance from the same worn book. Flowers are a good thing, a sweet thing to give a lady. But it is always roses, always red, and always perfect hothouse blooms when they can come by them.
Patrick Rothfuss
That is like throwing two virgins into a bed. Enthusiasm, passion, and ignorance are not a good combination. Someone is likely to get hurt.

I was nervous about writing Slow Regard.
Patrick Rothfuss
I don't feel beholden to follow the real world at all. The important thing is to know WHY things turned out the way they did. You need to understand the reasons for events, or at least be able to make reasonable guesses about them.
Patrick Rothfuss
I don't think people need to know much about me to understand the book, or to enjoy it. The book stands by itself. Over the last several years, my life has been all about writing these books, but the books aren't about my life.
Patrick Rothfuss
The boy grows upward, but the girl grows up.
Patrick Rothfuss
A troublesome question? Those tend to be the only whorthwhile kind.
Patrick Rothfuss
If you are going to impose your will on the world, you must have control over what you believe.
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
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
That's all that really matters in the end. Stories.
Patrick Rothfuss
If your name is getting too heavy, you should have Kvothe give you a new one.
Patrick Rothfuss
Character is half the reason we read. We're excited because of the plot, but we care because of the characters.
Patrick Rothfuss
I think one of the biggest mistakes you can make as a writer is to follow your initial [writing] plan too stringently. A story needs room to grow and evolve.
