Obedience Pure

More From Patrick Rothfuss

Christianity does not oppose debauchery and uncontrollable passions and the like as much as it opposes... flat mediocrity, this nauseating atmosphere, this homey, civil togetherness, where admittedly great crimes, wild excesses, and powerful aberrations cannot easily occur - but where god's unconditional demand has even greater difficulty in accomplishing what it requires: the majestic obedience of submission.
Christian Powerful Passion
The first law that ever god gave to man was a law of pure obedience; it was a commandment naked and simple, wherein man had nothing to inquire after, or to dispute, forasmuch as to obey is the proper office of a rational soul, acknowledging a heavenly superior and benefactor. from obedience and submission spring all other virtues, as all sin does from self-opinion.

If you wish to have power and influence over the many, be faithful (disciplined) when there is just a few. if you have a few employees, a few distributors, a few people, that's the time to stay in touch and be totally absorbed -- when there is just a few.

In every combustion there is disengagement of the matter of fire or of light. a body can burn only in pure air [oxygen]. there is no destruction or decomposition of pure air and the increase in weight of the body burnt is exactly equal to the weight of air destroyed or decomposed. the body burnt changes into an acid by addition of the substance that increases its weight. pure air is a compound of the matter of fire or of light with a base. in combustion the burning body removes the base, which it attracts more strongly than does the matter of heat, which appears as flame, heat and light.

The death eaters can't all be pure-blood, there aren't enough pure-blood wizards left," said hermione stubbornly. "i expect most of them are half-bloods pretending to be pure. it's only muggle-borns they hate, they'd be quite happy to let you and ron join up" "there is no way they'd let me be a death eater!" said ron indignantly...."my whole family are blood traitors! that's as bad as muggle-borns to death eaters!" "and they'd love to have me," said harry sarcastically. "we'd be best pals if they didn't keep trying to do me in.

I often get asked, 'is the book dead?' it hasn't happened yet. it's different than music. music was always meant to be pure sound - it started out as pure sound and now it's pure sound again. but books started out as things. words on paper began as words on paper. the paperback book is the best technology to deliver that information to you.

The amount of response i get, in both a negative and a positive context, is completely related to the amount of books i sell, i think. it seems to have nothing to do with what i'm writing, but what degree of success i'm perceived to have. it's really weird, especially since i spent so much of my life covering people who are famous. it's interesting to actually have it happen to me on some level.
Book Writing Thinking
The age of the book is not over. no way... but maybe the age of some books is over. people say to me sometimes 'steve, are you ever going to write a straight novel, a serious novel' and by that they mean a novel about college professors who are having impotence problems or something like that. and i have to say those things just don't interest me. why? i don't know. but it took me about twenty years to get over that question, and not be kind of ashamed about what i do, of the books i write.
Book Mean Writing
It does not follow because many books are written by persons born in america that there exists an american literature. books which imitate or represent the thoughts and life of europe do not constitute an american literature. before such can exist, an original idea must animate this nation and fresh currents of life must call into life fresh thoughts along the shore.
