Patrick Rothfuss

Patrick Rothfuss
That was another lesson I had learned perhaps too well: people meant pain.

Joss [Whedon] is an excellent storyteller. It really doesn't matter what medium he's working in.
Patrick Rothfuss
Stories only happen to people who can tell them.
Patrick Rothfuss
I need you to breathe for me.
Patrick Rothfuss
The boy grows upward, but the girl grows up.
Patrick Rothfuss
It wasn't even a good note. 'If you are reading this I am probably dead.' What sort of a note is that?
Patrick Rothfuss
My bad luck got tangled up with my bad decisions, and I'm paying for it.
Patrick Rothfuss
Its like he knows he's better than you, but doesn't look down on you for it because he knows it's not your fault.
Patrick Rothfuss
Owls are wise. They are careful and patient. Wisdom precludes boldness. That is why owls make poor heroes.
