    “It's not because I want to make out with her."

    Patrick Rothfuss
    “Re'lar Kvothe," he said seriously. "I am trying to wake your sleeping mind to the subtle language the world is whispering. I am trying to seduce you into understanding. I am trying to teach you." He leaned forward until his face was almost touching mine. "Quit grabbing at my tits.”
    Patrick Rothfuss, The Wise Man's Fear

    “If you are eager to find the reason I became the Kvothe they tell stories about, you could look there, I suppose."
    Chronicler's forehead wrinkled. "What do you mean, exactly?"
    Kvothe paused for a long moment, looking down at his hands. "Do you know how many times I've been beaten over the course of my life?"
    Chronicler shook his head.
    Looking up, Kvothe grinned and tossed his shoulders in a nonchalant shrug. "Neither do I. You'd think that sort of thing would stick in a person's mind. You'd think I would remember how many bones I've had broken. You'd think I'd remember the stitches and bandages." He shook his head. "I don't. I remember that young boy sobbing in the dark. Clear as a bell after all these years."
    Chronicler frowned. "You said yourself that there was nothing you could have done."
    "I could have," Kvothe said seriously, "and I didn't. I made my choice and I regret it to this day. Bones mend. Regret stays with you forever.”
    Patrick Rothfuss, The Name of the Wind

    “Auri hopped down from the chimney and skipped over to where I stood, her hair streaming behind her. "Hello Kvothe." She took a half-step back. "You reek."
    I smiled my best smile of the day. "Hello Auri," I said. "You smell like a
    pretty young girl."
    "I do," she agreed happily.
    She stepped sideways a little, then forward again, moving lightly on the balls of her bare feet. "What did you bring me?" she asked.
    "What did you bring me?" I countered.
    She grinned. "I have an apple that thinks it is a pear," she said, holding it up. "And a bun that thinks it is a cat. And a lettuce that thinks it is a lettuce."
    "It's a clever lettuce then."
    "Hardly," she said with a delicate snort. "Why would anything clever think it was a lettuce?"
    "Even if it is a lettuce?" I asked.
    "Especially then," she said. "Bad enough to be a lettuce. How awful to think you are a lettuce too." She shook her head sadly, her hair following the motion as if she were underwater.
    I unwrapped my bundle. "I brought you some potatoes, half a squash,
    and a bottle of beer that thinks it is a loaf of bread."
    "What does the squash think it is?" she asked curiously, looking down at it. She held her hands clasped behind her back
    "It knows it's a squash," I said. "But it's pretending to be the setting sun."
    "And the potatoes?" she asked.
    "They're sleeping," I said. "And cold, I'm afraid."
    She looked up at me, her eyes gentle. "Don't be afraid," she said, and reached out and rested her fingers on my cheek for the space of a heartbeat, her touch lighter than the stroke of a feather. "I'm here. You're safe.”
    Patrick Rothfuss, The Wise Man's Fear

    Patrick Rothfuss
    “Still, these days when I daydream about the movie, I don't think about the big picture. It's more fun for me to think of little things that would add to the movie. I like to think the powers that be would let me amuse myself with some small things in order to shut me up while they re-write the screenplay to turn Kvothe into a lesbian, shape-changing unicorn.

    Patrick Rothfuss

    “And the next time you worry about not being normal, just remember my words of wisdom.” “Which are?” I ask. “Fuck normal.”
