More quotes by Patrick Rothfuss
I'm just very careful with my words when I write. Obsessively careful. I'm the sort of person who worries about the difference between slim and slender.
Patrick Rothfuss
I loved college. I wish I was still taking classes instead of teaching them.
Patrick Rothfuss
I also felt guilty about the three pens I'd stolen, but only for a second. And since there was no convenient way to give them back, I stole a bottle of ink before I left.

If you're an actor, you know people are going to recognize you in a restaurant. If you're a rock star, you know people are going to stop you on the street and ask you for your autograph. But as an author? That's not something I was ready for.
Patrick Rothfuss

Patrick Rothfuss
I've waited a long time to show these flowers how pretty you are.
Patrick Rothfuss
Did I ever mention I used to be a delivery driver too? I was. I can read a map. What’s more, using a brilliant mixture of zen navigation, Aristotelian logic, and pure rage I can get you your package and/or delicious sandwich relatively close to on-time.
Patrick Rothfuss
Isn't that the way of the world? We want the sweet things, but we need the unpleasant ones.
Patrick Rothfuss
When we are children we seldom think of the future. This innocence leaves us free to enjoy ourselves as few adults can. The day we fret about the future is the day we leave our childhood behind.
Patrick Rothfuss
That's all that really matters in the end. Stories.
Patrick Rothfuss
You lack the requisite spine and testicular fortitude to study under me.
Patrick Rothfuss
When left to its own devices it tends to make me look as if I’ve been set afire.
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
It might not be true, but that doesn't mean it's nonsense.
Patrick Rothfuss
You know, I could have carried you.
Patrick Rothfuss
If you're going to have a book full of clever people and nobody ever jokes, it's just not going to ring true to the reader. That said, humor writing is the hardest kind of writing there is.
