Patrick Rothfuss Quote: “Always think about what you’re singing, honey.”
Patrick Rothfuss Quote: “A well-spoken sentence in Aturan is a straight line pointing. A well-spoken sentence in Adem is like a spiderweb, each strand with a meaning of its own, a piece of something greater, more complex.”
Patrick Rothfuss Quote: “She didn’t fall, but oh, her heart went icy in her chest. She sat down hard upon the steps. Too numb to walk. Her heart was cold and white as chalk.”
Patrick Rothfuss Quote: “She listened, then opened up the door and looked again. Nothing. But simply seeing did not help. She knew that seeming wasn’t hardly half of things.”
Patrick Rothfuss Quote: “As a writer, I first felt successful before I was published.”

Patrick Rothfuss Quote: “The point of all of this is control. First you must have control of yourself. Then you can gain control of your surroundings. Then you gain control of whoever stands against you. This is the Lethani.”
Patrick Rothfuss Quote: “Being able to think about two disparate things at once, aside from being wonderfully efficient, was roughly akin to being able to sing harmony with yourself.”
Patrick Rothfuss Quote: “She felt the panic rising in her then. She knew. She knew how quickly things could break. You did the things you could. You tended to the world for the world’s sake. You hoped you would be safe. But still she knew. It could come crashing down and there was nothing you could do. And yes, she knew she wasn’t right. She knew her everything was canted wrong. She knew her head was all unkilter. She knew she wasn’t true inside. She knew.”
Patrick Rothfuss Quote: “She did not dare let it behind her, all unseen. Unseemly. All unseamed.”
Patrick Rothfuss Quote: “Soon. She knew. Soon he would come visiting. Incarnadine and sweet and sad and broken. Just like her.”

Patrick Rothfuss Quote: “It was baffling. These creatures. The were fraught and frayed win their desire. A snake would never poison itself, but these folk made an art of it. They wrapped themselves in fears and wept at being blind. It was infuriating. It was enough to break a heart.”
Patrick Rothfuss Quote: “It is easier to understand if you think of it in terms of music. Sometimes a man enjoys a symphony. Elsetimes he finds a jig more suited to his taste. The same holds true for lovemaking. One type is suited to the deep cushions of a twilight forest glade. Another comes quite naturally tangled in the sheets of narrow beds upstairs in inns. Each woman is like an instrument, waiting to be learned, loved, and finely played, to have at last her own true music made.”
Patrick Rothfuss Quote: “I have stolen princesses back from sleeping barrow kings. I burned down the town of Trebon. I have spent the night with Felurian and left with both my sanity and my life. I was expelled from the University at a younger age than most people are allowed in. I tread paths by moonlight that others fear to speak of during day. I have talked to gods, loved women, and written songs that make the minstrels weep. You may have heard of me.”
Patrick Rothfuss Quote: “I’d like respect, but failing that, a little healthy fear can go a long way to making things run smoothly.”
Patrick Rothfuss Quote: “Barbarian that I am, I had eaten all of it. It had tasted quite nice too. Still, I took note of this fact and resigned myself to throw away half of a perfectly good cheese if it was set in front of me. Such is the price of civilization.”
Patrick Rothfuss Quote: “Chronicler picked up his pen, but before he could dip it, Kvothe held up a hand. “Let me say one thing before I start. I’ve told stories in the past, painted pictures with words, told hard lies and harder truths. Once, I sang colors to a blind man. Seven hours I played, but at the end he said he saw them, green and red and gold. That, I think, was easier than this. Trying to make you understand her with nothing more than words. You have never seen her, never heard her voice. You cannot know.”
Patrick Rothfuss Quote: “You need to decide what you want for yourself. You want to go home? There’s a price. You want control over your life? There’s a price. You want the freedom to say no? There’s a price. There’s always a price.”
Patrick Rothfuss Quote: “What about falling?′ I asked. ‘If you fall, you fall.’ Elodin shrugged. ‘Sometimes falling teaches us things too. In dreams you often fall before you wake.”
Patrick Rothfuss Quote: “This is how deeply rooted stories are, folks. We crave them before we can walk, and we start telling them before we can talk.”
Patrick Rothfuss Quote: “That is how I felt, watching the musicians play. I couldn’t stand it. The everyday lack of my music was like a toothache I had grown used to. I could live with it. But having what I wanted dangled in front of me was more than I could bear.”
Patrick Rothfuss Quote: “Off to one side his fine white teacup waited for him with a patience Aria envied.”
Patrick Rothfuss Quote: “My parents danced together, her head on his chest. Both had their eyes closed. They seemed so perfectly content. If you can find someone like that, someone who you can hold and close your eyes to the world with, then you’re lucky. Even if it only lasts for a minute or a day. The image of them gently swaying to the music is how I picture love in my mind even after all these years.”
Patrick Rothfuss Quote: “My parents were never really married, by which I mean they never bothered making their relationship official with any church. I’m not embarrassed by the fact. They considered themselves married and didn’t see much point in announcing it to any government or God. I respect that. In truth, they seemed more content and faithful than many officially married couples I have seen since.”
Patrick Rothfuss Quote: “Our language is rich with implication, so it is easier for us to accept the existence of things that cannot be explained. The Lethani is the greatest of these.”
Patrick Rothfuss Quote: “But a leader is not a muscle. A leader is a mind.”
Patrick Rothfuss Quote: “But this was not a time for begging favors from the moon. Not now. She could not rush and neither could she be delayed. Some things were simply too important.”
Patrick Rothfuss Quote: “I would pass over the whole of that evening, in fact. I would spare you the burden of any of it if one piece were not necessary to the story. It is vital. It is the hinge upon which the story pivots like an opening door. In some ways, this is where the story begins. So let’s have done with it.”
Patrick Rothfuss Quote: “As he sorted and packed, the red-haired man seemed content. But if you looked more closely you might have noticed that while his hands were busy, his eyes were far away. And while his expression was composed, pleasant even, there was no joy in it. He did not hum or whistle while he worked. He did not sing.”
Patrick Rothfuss Quote: “Once, I sang colors to a blind man. Seven hours I played, but at the end he said he saw them, green and red and gold. That, I think, was easier than this. Trying to make you understand her with nothing more than words. You have never seen her, never heard her voice. You cannot know.”
Patrick Rothfuss Quote: “In the future, when Joss Whedon and I are best friends and hanging out together in my tree fort, I hope Neil Gaiman comes over too.”
Patrick Rothfuss Quote: “She was a greedy thing sometimes. Wanting for herself. Twisting the world all out of proper shape. Pushing everything about with the weight of her desire.”
Patrick Rothfuss Quote: “So strange and rare. So full of faraway.”
Patrick Rothfuss Quote: “She felt flat and scraped as an old hide. Dry as paper written on both sides.”
Patrick Rothfuss Quote: “You did not want things for yourself. That made you small.”
Patrick Rothfuss Quote: “They fight like puppies. They are young, and boys. They are full of anger and impatience. Women have less trouble with these things. It’s part of what makes us better fighters.”
Patrick Rothfuss Quote: “Eavesdropping is a deplorable habit, but I have developed worse ones since.”
Patrick Rothfuss Quote: “But it isn’t a rough draft either. The one I turned in several months ago was rough. There were some bad plot holes, some logical inconsistencies, pacing problems, and not nearly enough lesbian unicorns.”
Patrick Rothfuss Quote: “Then, eyes closed, she brushed the smooth side of it soft across her lips. It was a tender, thoughtful motion. It was nothing like a kiss.”
Patrick Rothfuss Quote: “No matter where you are, people are basically the same. Besides, anger can keep you warm at night, and wounded pride can spur a man to wondrous things.”
Patrick Rothfuss Quote: “Don’t put beets in the soup, Reshi. They’re foul.”
Patrick Rothfuss Quote: “You’re sure your new roommate won’t be like the last one who wore tinfoil socks and had a tendency to occasionally urinate in the refrigerator. You’re sure you’ll pass Math 106 this time around. You’re determined to actually join some clubs this year and not just sit around in your dorm eating spray cheese from a can and watching youtube videos about cats.”
Patrick Rothfuss Quote: “Some were bitter. Some were sweet. Some were hardly anything. That was just the way of things.”
Patrick Rothfuss Quote: “Answers were always important, but they were seldom easy.”
Patrick Rothfuss Quote: “Over the last month I had pulled a woman from a blazing inferno. I had called fire and lighting down on assassins and escaped to safety. I had even killed something that could have been either a dragon or a demon, depending on your point of view. But there in that room was the first time I actually felt like any sort of hero. If you are looking for a reason for the man I would eventually become, if you are looking for a beginning, look there.”
Patrick Rothfuss Quote: “The world needs people like you,′ Simmon said in the tone of voice that let me know he was turning philosophical. ‘You get things done. Not always the best way, or the most sensible way, but it gets done nonetheless. You’re a rare creature.”

Patrick Rothfuss Quote: “I took the time to fret uselessly about things I had no control over.”
