Good lord woman. If i had tits like yours I'd own half the world by now.
Patrick Rothfuss
It's the questions we can't answer that teach us the most. They teach us how to think.
Patrick Rothfuss
I need you to breathe for me.

Remember this son, if you forget everything else. A poet is a musician who can't sing. Words have to find a man's mind before they can touch his heart. And, some men's minds are woeful small targets. Music touches their hearts directly, no matter how small or stubborn the mind of the man who listens.

I know there's a lot of talk about self-publishing right now. Everyone's giddy with the possibilities. And I'll admit that it looks good on paper: sell your books directly and keep a bigger chunk of the profit for yourself. No rejection letters. No hassle with agents. Sounds good, right?

I am no poet. I do not love words for the sake of words. I love words for what they can accomplish. Similarly, I am no arithmetician. Numbers that speak only of numbers are of little interest to me.
Patrick Rothfuss
There is a sort of camaraderie that rarely exists except between men who have fought the same enemies and know the same women.

Patrick Rothfuss
Congratulations. That was the stupidest thing I've ever seen. Ever.
Patrick Rothfuss
When you love something, you have to make sure it loves you back, or you'll bring about no end of trouble chasing it.
Patrick Rothfuss
It was the patient, cut-flower sound of a man who is waiting to die.
Patrick Rothfuss
I can't count the men who have tried to seduce me away from my virtue by teaching me how to defend it.
Patrick Rothfuss
Science is just magic with better PR.
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
It's hard for me to take myself too seriously when I'm constantly experiencing firsthand what an incredible gimp I can be.
Patrick Rothfuss
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.

I'd like to work with some of the videogame companies for the simple fact that they obviously need some sort of writer's help. I play videogames, and lately it's hard for me to enjoy them because I'm spending all my time cringing at the corny dialogue, thin characters, and glaring plot holes.
