More quotes by Patrick Rothfuss
Words have to find a man's mind before they can touch his heart, and some men's minds are woefully small targets.
Patrick Rothfuss
I don't really have a lot of expensive tastes. What else am I really going to do with my money? Buy a little red sports car? Wear a lot of jewelry? Build a castle? Well... I might do the last one. Maybe. Eventually. But that doesn't mean I can't run Worldbuilders too.
Patrick Rothfuss
Metal rusts, music lasts forever.
Patrick Rothfuss
If I seem to wander, if I seem to stray, remember that true stories seldom take the straightest way
Patrick Rothfuss
Pride is always a better lever against the nobility than reason.

Unfortunately, a lot of fantasy is chock full of sexism and racism. A lot of authors don't even realize they're doing it, and a lot of readers don't know they're reading it. That's what makes it so scary in some cases.
Patrick Rothfuss

Patrick Rothfuss
If I'd been whoring before class and waved a corset at him, no one would have thought twice about it!
Patrick Rothfuss
The desire for knowledge shapes a man.
Patrick Rothfuss
I think the tendency to over-explain and over describe is one of the most common failings in fantasy. It's an unfortunate piece of Tolkien's legacy. Don't get me wrong, Tolkien was a great worldbuilder, but he got a little caught up describing his world at times, at the expense of the overall story.
Patrick Rothfuss
I'm honestly not a big fan of pitching things. I'm a firm believer of letting the product speak for iteself.
Patrick Rothfuss
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.
Patrick Rothfuss
All stories are true.
Patrick Rothfuss
Do you just want to get by? Or do you want to make me proud?

Thieves, Heretics, and Whores
Patrick Rothfuss
I love worldbuilding. It's as much fun for me as writing itself. It's like a hobby of mine.
Patrick Rothfuss
There is only one Whedon, and I am his prophet.
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.
