Auri, I asked slowly, are you joking with me? She looked up and grinned. Yes I am, she said proudly. Isn't it wonderful?
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.

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.

Whenever you write a character, you want to make them themselves, you want to make them unique. You don't want fifty characters in your book and they all pretty much act and think the same except they have different colored hair.
Patrick Rothfuss
I don't think people need to know much about me to understand the book, or to enjoy it. The book stands by itself. Over the last several years, my life has been all about writing these books, but the books aren't about my life.

Patrick Rothfuss
My bad luck got tangled up with my bad decisions, and I'm paying for it.
Patrick Rothfuss
Nobody cooks using just one ingredient. Why would you write using just one flavor of story?
Patrick Rothfuss
It's easier to write about heartbreak after you've had your heart broken. You have more material to draw from, you can extrapolate from your own experiences and make reasonable assumptions about how your characters would feel and act.
Patrick Rothfuss
If there is one thing I will not abide it is the folly of a willful pride.
Patrick Rothfuss
You never do things the easy way, do you? she said. There's an easy way? I asked.
Patrick Rothfuss
The truth is I've worked a lot of things people would consider shitty jobs but I've never really hated any of them.
Patrick Rothfuss
I was nervous about writing Slow Regard.
Patrick Rothfuss
Too much truth confuses the facts. Too much honesty makes you sound insincere.
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.

My favourite member of the Beatles is Lennon. He might have been crazy. But he's my kind of crazy.

I've always liked the moonless night best. It's easier to say things in the dark. It's easier to be yourself.
