More quotes by Patrick Rothfuss
We need to read good books, and for that to happen, we need to share good books.
Patrick Rothfuss
You are an educated man. You know there are no such things as demons. Bast smiled a terrible smile. There is only my kind. Bast leaned closer still, Chronicler smelled flowers on his breath. You are not wise enough to fear me as I should be feared. You do not know the first note of the music that moves me.
Patrick Rothfuss
The world is a mess and I just need to rule it.
Patrick Rothfuss
What has made me most proud - the things that I've done that I feel the most pride about - is helping people care about making the world better.
Patrick Rothfuss
Don't get me wrong, magic is cool. But a nervous mother singing to her child at night while something moves quietly through the dark outside her house? That's a story. Handled properly, it's more dramatic than any apocalypse or goblin army could ever be.
Patrick Rothfuss
All the truth in the world is held in stories.
Patrick Rothfuss

Patrick Rothfuss
...it is better to have a mouthful of poison than a secret of the heart.
Patrick Rothfuss

Patrick Rothfuss
If your name is getting too heavy, you should have Kvothe give you a new one.
Patrick Rothfuss
No hard feelings about that time in the Crucible when you mixed my salts and I was nearly blind for a day. No. No, really, drink up!
Patrick Rothfuss
Isn't that the way of the world? We want the sweet things, but we need the unpleasant ones.
Patrick Rothfuss
Old Cob tucked away his bowl of stew with the predatory efficency of a lifetime bachelor.
Patrick Rothfuss
You know, I could have carried you.
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
I'm not a big fan of overt marketing. I'd much rather just put things out there for people to see. I'm just putting it out there for people to see. If people think this is cool, I'm hoping they'll tell their friends.
Patrick Rothfuss
As a writer, I first felt successful before I was published.
Patrick Rothfuss
I learned to love the feel of good words.
Patrick Rothfuss
Hours later the blank sheet still stared at me, and I beat my fist against the desk in fury and fustration, striking it so hard my hand bled. That is how heavy a secret can become. It can make blood flow easier than ink.
Patrick Rothfuss
Good lord woman. If i had tits like yours I'd own half the world by now.
