More quotes by Patrick Rothfuss

Patrick Rothfuss
I loved college. I wish I was still taking classes instead of teaching them.
Patrick Rothfuss
But to love something despite. To know the flaws and love them too. This is rare and pure and perfect.
Patrick Rothfuss
The boy grows upward, but the girl grows up.
Patrick Rothfuss
And if Hollywood has taught us anything, it's that cool props and special effects are not enough. Story comes first. Everything depends on story.
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
I want a magical horse that fits in my pocket, Wil said. And a ring of red amber that gives me power over demons. And an endless supply of cake.
Patrick Rothfuss
Only priests and fools are fearless and I've never been on the best of terms with God.
Patrick Rothfuss
A troublesome question? Those tend to be the only whorthwhile kind.
