More quotes by Patrick Rothfuss
Writing a good query letter has very little to do with writing a good novel. But if you can't write the one, it makes it really hard to get the other published.
Patrick Rothfuss
Just handle the books gently and you’ll get along fine.
Patrick Rothfuss
...hear rumors and go digging for the painful truth beneath the lovely lies. You believe you have a right to these things, but you don't. When someone tells you a piece of their life, they're giving you a gift, not granting you your due.
Patrick Rothfuss
Now it's virtually impossible to write a game that successfully provides challenge and frustration, and that's a shame. We are going to lose something that makes scientists, that makes doers, that makes hard-minded, witty, clever people, and I worry that those people aren't being made these days.
Patrick Rothfuss
He had a bright, reckless tenor that was always wandering off, looking for notes in the wrong places.
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
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
There are times when the mind is dealt such a blow it hides itself in insanity. While this may not seem beneficial, it is. There are times when reality is nothing but pain, and to escape that pain the mind must leave reality behind.
Patrick Rothfuss
Truth is a troublesome motherfucker unless it's handled properly
Patrick Rothfuss
Science is just magic with better PR.
Patrick Rothfuss
It might not be true, but that doesn't mean it's nonsense.
Patrick Rothfuss
Nobody cooks using just one ingredient. Why would you write using just one flavor of story?
Patrick Rothfuss
You can have an interesting story about a person living an interesting life. And if it's done well, that is just as engaging as the end of the world. A million people dying - we can't process. One person, we can process.
Patrick Rothfuss
The boy grows upward, but the girl grows up.
Patrick Rothfuss
Practice makes the master.
Patrick Rothfuss
Whenever you write a character, you want to make them themselves, you want to make them unique. You don't want fifty characters in your book and they all pretty much act and think the same except they have different colored hair.
Patrick Rothfuss
That's all that really matters in the end. Stories.
Patrick Rothfuss
She looked at me. What? Is there something wrong with my idea? It's not very heroic, I said dismissively. I was expecting something with a little more flair. Well, I left my armor and warhorse at home, she said. You're just upset because your big University brain couldn't think of a way, and my plan is brilliant.
Patrick Rothfuss
It gets tiresome being spoken to as if you are a child, even if you happen to be one.
Patrick Rothfuss
You can't write good characters if you can't imagine what it's like being in another person's skin. And if you can imagine that, you naturally want other people's lives to be better. You want to make that happen.
