Patrick Rothfuss Quotes

He was giving me enough rope to hang myself with. Apparently he didn’t realize that once a noose is tied it will fit one neck as easily as another Picture Quote #1

To deem us simply enemies is to lose the true flavor of our relationship. It was more like the two of us entered into a business partnership in order to more efficiently pursue our mutual interest of hating each other Picture Quote #1

There is something powerfully beguiling about the excited eyes of a young woman. They can pull all manner of nonsense out of a foolish young man, and I was no exception to this rule Picture Quote #1

I do this so you cannot help but hear. A wise man views a moonless night with fear Picture Quote #1

... if I have ever met someone without a single shadow on their heart, it was surely a child too young for speaking Picture Quote #1

I can’t count the men who have tried to seduce me away from my virtue by teaching me how to defend it Picture Quote #1

I’ve always liked the moonless night best. It’s easier to say things in the dark. It’s easier to be yourself Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

My bad luck got tangled up with my bad decisions, and I’m paying for it Picture Quote #1

The air was heavy with the smell of leather and dust, of old parchment and binding glue. It smelled of secrets Picture Quote #1

Isn’t that the way of the world? We want the sweet things, but we need the unpleasant ones Picture Quote #1

He had a bright, reckless tenor that was always wandering off, looking for notes in the wrong places Picture Quote #1

When you love something, you have to make sure it loves you back, or you’ll bring about no end of trouble chasing it Picture Quote #1

Do not mistake me for my mask. You see light dappling on the water and forget the deep, cold dark beneath Picture Quote #1

A long stretch of road will teach you more about yourself than a hundred years of quiet introspection Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

It’s the questions we can’t answer that teach us the most. They teach us how to think Picture Quote #1

One reason we love fiction is because stories have a comforting shape. They provide a resolution that’s lacking in our regular lives Picture Quote #1

It was wise enough to know itself, and brave enough to be itself, and wild enough to change itself while somehow staying altogether true Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

Words are pale shadows of forgotten names. As names have power, words have power. Words can light fires in the minds of men. Words can wring tears from the hardest hearts. There are seven words that will make a person love you. There are ten words that will break a strong man’s will. But a word is nothing but a painting of a fire. A name is the fire itself Picture Quote #1

I wanted to tell her that she was the first beautiful thing I had seen in three years. That the sight of her yawning to the back of her hand was enought to drive the breath from me. How I sometimes lost the sense of her words in the sweet fluting of her voice. I wanted to say that if she were with me then somehow nothing could ever be wrong for me again Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

On the other hand, winning awards is cool. Aside from the warm fuzzy, it creates publicity, and that helps spread the word about the book. Plus, this award was a plaque of some sort. I could have used that for all sorts of things. Obviously it would be useful for decorating the barren walls of my house and intimidating my enemies, but that’s just for starters Picture Quote #1

I have known her longer, my smile said. True, you have been inside the circle of her arms, tasted her mouth, felt the warmth of her, and that is something I have never had. But there is a part of her that is only for me. You cannot touch it, no matter how hard you might try. And after she has left you I will still be here, making her laugh. My light shining in her. I will still be here long after she has forgotten your name Picture Quote #1

I walked across the polished marble floor and sat on a red velvet lounging couch. I idly wondered how exactly one was supposed to lounge. I couldn’t remember ever doing it myself. After a moment’s consideration, I decided lounging was probably similar to relaxing, but with more money in your pocket Picture Quote #1

So yes. It had flaws, but what does that matter when it comes to matters of the heart? We love what we love. Reason does not enter into it. In many ways, unwise love is the truest love. Anyone can love a thing because. That’s as easy as putting a penny in your pocket. But to love something despite. To know the flaws and love them too. That is rare and pure and perfect Picture Quote #1

Remember this, son, if you forget everything else. A poet is a musician who can’t sing. Words have to find a man’s mind before they can touch his heart, and some men’s minds are woeful small targets. Music touches their hearts directly no matter how small or stubborn the mind of the man who listens Picture Quote #1

Just a little. Just the first faint breath of love... It wasn’t dramatic, like some bolt of lightning with a crack of thunder following. It was more like when flint strikes steel and the spark fades almost too fast for you to see. But still, you know it’s there, down where you can’t see, kindling Picture Quote #1

With slow care rather than stealth we must approach the subject of a certain woman. Her wildness is of such degree, I fear approaching her too quickly even in a story. Should I move recklessly, I might startle even the idea of her into sudden flight Picture Quote #1
