I was nervous about writing Slow Regard.
Patrick Rothfuss
Secrets of the heart. We swallow hard against them every day, forcing them deep inside us. There they sit, growing heavier, festering. Given enough time, they cannot help but crush the heart that holds them.
Patrick Rothfuss
The day we fret about the future is the day we leave our childhood behind.

I need you to breathe for me.

I learned to love the feel of good words.
Patrick Rothfuss
Just handle the books gently and you’ll get along fine.

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
Using words to talk of words is like using a pencil to draw a picture of itself, on itself. Impossible. Confusing. Frustrating ... but there are other ways to understanding.
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
If your name is getting too heavy, you should have Kvothe give you a new one.
Patrick Rothfuss
You lack the requisite spine and testicular fortitude to study under me.
