More quotes by Patrick Rothfuss
Perhaps the greatest faculty our minds possess is the ability to cope with pain.
Patrick Rothfuss
I need you to breathe for me.
Patrick Rothfuss
My favourite member of the Beatles is Lennon. He might have been crazy. But he's my kind of crazy.
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
It's hard for a newbie author to get noticed.
Patrick Rothfuss
That is how heavy a secret can become. It can make blood flow easier than ink.
Patrick Rothfuss
That is like throwing two virgins into a bed. Enthusiasm, passion, and ignorance are not a good combination. Someone is likely to get hurt.
Patrick Rothfuss
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.
Patrick Rothfuss

I think the tendency to over-explain and over describe is one of the most common failings in fantasy. It's an unfortunate piece of Tolkien's legacy. Don't get me wrong, Tolkien was a great worldbuilder, but he got a little caught up describing his world at times, at the expense of the overall story.
Patrick Rothfuss
What I'd love more than anything is for Worldbuilders to continue to grow and become entangled in all the different corners of the geek community.
Patrick Rothfuss
Why would I want to win anything other than a beautiful game?
Patrick Rothfuss
I decided to dub the room with the good chairs my lutery. Or perhaps my performatory. I would need a while to come up with something suitably pretentious.
Patrick Rothfuss
All stories are true, Skarpi said. But this one really happened, if that's what you mean.
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
I was nervous about writing Slow Regard.
Patrick Rothfuss
The good thing about working on the books for 14 years before they hit the shelves is that I worked out most of the kinks long before they were published.
Patrick Rothfuss
I loved college. I wish I was still taking classes instead of teaching them.
Patrick Rothfuss
We need time to relax and enjoy ourselves too, no matter how dark the story. The occasional humorous moment helps with that. That's one of the things that Joss Whedon excels at in his storytelling.
