More quotes by Patrick Rothfuss
If you're going to have a book full of clever people and nobody ever jokes, it's just not going to ring true to the reader. That said, humor writing is the hardest kind of writing there is.
Patrick Rothfuss
If there is one thing I will not abide it is the folly of a willful pride.
Patrick Rothfuss
I take back everything I ever said about that boy being clever. He turned around to face the bar while leveling an accusatory finger at the closed door. That, he said firmly to the room in general, is what comes of working with iron every day.
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
There is only one Whedon, and I am his prophet.
Patrick Rothfuss
With slow care rather than stealth we must approach the subject of a certain woman. Her wildness is of such degree, I fear approaching her too quickly even in a story. Should I move recklessly, I might startle even the idea of her into sudden flight.
Patrick Rothfuss
You lack the requisite spine and testicular fortitude to study under me.
Patrick Rothfuss
Metal rusts, music lasts forever.
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
Isn't that the way of the world? We want the sweet things, but we need the unpleasant ones.
Patrick Rothfuss
Reading is professionally important for me to keep tuned in to what's being written in my genre, let's not lie. But that's not the reason I read. I read for my own emotional and mental health. If I stopped reading, I'd probably just die.
Patrick Rothfuss
Each book needs a good beginning and a good ending. People get pissed off when you don't close things off properly at the end.
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.
Patrick Rothfuss
Hespe's mouth went firm. She didn't scowl exactly, but it looked like she was getting all the pieces of a scowl together in one place, just in case she needed them in a hurry.
Patrick Rothfuss
I don't speak fluent bumpkin.
Patrick Rothfuss
Thieves, Heretics, and Whores
Patrick Rothfuss
Over his own dark Cealdish beard. Nothing like your marvelous facebear.
Patrick Rothfuss
Perhaps the greatest faculty our minds possess is the ability to cope with pain.
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.
