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.

More quotes by Patrick Rothfuss
I need you to breathe for me.
Patrick Rothfuss
Over his own dark Cealdish beard. Nothing like your marvelous facebear.
Patrick Rothfuss
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
You may have heard of me.
Patrick Rothfuss
All the truth in the world is held in stories.
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.
Patrick Rothfuss
Simmon pushed his hair out of his eyes, laughing boyishly. You can't argue your way out of this one! She's obviously stupid for you. And you're just plain stupid, so it's a great match.
Patrick Rothfuss
You lack the requisite spine and testicular fortitude to study under me.
Patrick Rothfuss
Feel free to call me by my first name: Master.
Patrick Rothfuss
Too much truth confuses the facts. Too much honesty makes you sound insincere.
Patrick Rothfuss
The framed tale is, in my opinion, one of the most natural ways to tell a story. If you think of it, the conceit of the frame-less story is actually the odd way of doing things. Without the frame, how do you know the context for a story?
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
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
I will say the most raw joy I've experienced reading has probably come from the times I've been reading with my little boys.
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 have a blog where I keep in touch with my fans. I write about things that are important to me. Sometimes on there I'll just tell a little story about the things that happen in my everyday life. People seem to enjoy them well enough.
Patrick Rothfuss
It is quite a thing. There are so many men, all endlessly trying to sweep me off my feet. And there is one of you, trying just the opposite. Making sure my feet are firm beneath me lest I fall.
Patrick Rothfuss
Just handle the books gently and you’ll get along fine.
Patrick Rothfuss
I love worldbuilding. It's as much fun for me as writing itself. It's like a hobby of mine.
Patrick Rothfuss
On his first hand he wore rings of stone, Iron, Amber, Wood and Bone. There were rings unseen on his second hand, One was blood in a flowing band, One was air all whisper thin, And the ring of ice had a flaw within. Full faintly shone the ring of flame, And the final ring was without name.
