Patrick Rothfuss
Why would I want to win anything other than a beautiful game?

The truth is that the world is full of dragons, and none of us are as powerful or cool as we’d like to be. And that sucks. But when you’re confronted with that fact, you can either crawl into a hole and quit, or you can get out there, take off your shoes, and Bilbo it up.

How odd to watch a mortal kindle / Then to dwindle day by day / Knowing their bright souls are tinder / And the wind will have its way
Patrick Rothfuss
Words are pale shadows of forgotten names. As names have power, words have power. Words can light fires in the minds of men. Words can wring tears from the hardest hearts.

For most practical purposes Tarbean had two pieces: Waterside and Hillside. Waterside is where people are poor. That makes them beggars, thieves, and whores. Hillside is where people are rich. That makes them solicitors, politicians, and courtesans.

I don't feel beholden to follow the real world at all. The important thing is to know WHY things turned out the way they did. You need to understand the reasons for events, or at least be able to make reasonable guesses about them.
Patrick Rothfuss
I have no balance. My life is a hot mess.
Patrick Rothfuss
It was the patient, cut-flower sound of a man who is waiting to die.

A lot of new writers assume you have to know the where the story is going and that it flows out as molten gold. But really, sometimes you think you are going to one place, but then you decide that is dumb idea. Then you go somewhere else and it is a worse idea. But then you switch again and you might have a beautiful accident.

I walked across the polished marble floor and sat on a red velvet lounging couch. I idly wondered how exactly one was supposed to lounge. I couldn't remember ever doing it myself. After a moment's consideration, I decided lounging was probably similar to relaxing, but with more money in your pocket.
Patrick Rothfuss
The seeds of the past bear fruit in the present.
Patrick Rothfuss
Too much truth confuses the facts. Too much honesty makes you sound insincere.
Patrick Rothfuss
I've always liked the moonless night best. It's easier to say things in the dark. It's easier to be yourself.
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.

I want a magical horse that fits in my pocket, Wil said. And a ring of red amber that gives me power over demons. And an endless supply of cake.
Patrick Rothfuss
Stories only happen to people who can tell them.
Patrick Rothfuss
Some tropes are universal. Boy meets girl. Betrayal and revenge. The search to discover a hidden truth.... A mother's love isn't cliché, it's universal. These things are archetypes. They're the building blocks of myth and legend. They are a big part about what it means to be human.
