Patrick Rothfuss quotes about
elephants impact worry
Soft fantasy worlds have a much looser cause-and-effect relationship. Alchemists can turn lead into gold and nobody wonders about how it will impact the currency system. Someone waves a wand and turns an elephant into a mouse and nobody worries about conservation of mass.
being-yourself dark night
I've always liked the moonless night best. It's easier to say things in the dark. It's easier to be yourself.
feels good-words
I learned to love the feel of good words.
love-you boys moon
Could you help me catch the moon?” “I might be able to give you some advice,” the old man said reluctantly. “But first you should think this over, boy. When you love something, you have to make sure it loves you back, or you’ll bring about no end of trouble chasing it.

My bad luck got tangled up with my bad decisions, and I'm paying for it.

The air was heavy with the smell of leather and dust, of old parchment and binding glue. It smelled of secrets.
keys interesting coins
I'm not officially a collector, but I have a strange attraction and a weakness for keys and coins. Old keys and interesting coins.
secret backyards mysterious
There is nothing quite so delightfully mysterious as a secret in your own backyard.
teaching men virtue
I can't count the men who have tried to seduce me away from my virtue by teaching me how to defend it.
wind knowing soul
How odd to watch a mortal kindle / Then to dwindle day by day / Knowing their bright souls are tinder / And the wind will have its way
