Patrick Rothfuss
Why would I want to win anything other than a beautiful game?
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
Is there a connection between language and magic? Yes. Ten times yes. So much yes that it almost doesn't bear talking about. It's as pointless that arguing that the sun is hot.
Patrick Rothfuss
