More quotes by Patrick Rothfuss
For me, language is something that I've always loved. When I read, that's what I look for. When I write, that's what I strive for.
Patrick Rothfuss
For most practical purposes Tarbean had two pieces: Waterside and Hillside. Waterside is where people are poor. That makes them beggars, thieves, and whores. Hillside is where people are rich. That makes them solicitors, politicians, and courtesans.

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
My favourite member of the Beatles is Lennon. He might have been crazy. But he's my kind of crazy.

Performance and music are inexorably tied together. And hell, I'll watch Brittany's Toxic music video all day. But there's a difference between that and listening to Leo Kottke play guitar. One is entertainment. The other is Music.
Patrick Rothfuss
Too much truth confuses the facts. Too much honesty makes you sound insincere.

I'd love to take a stab at writing videogames. There are a lot of storytelling opportunities that really aren't being taken advantage of in that field. I'd like to experiment with telling a truly non-linear story.

Half a King is my favorite book by Joe Abercrombie so far, and that's saying something.
