More From Patrick Rothfuss

...hear rumors and go digging for the painful truth beneath the lovely lies. you believe you have a right to these things, but you don't. when someone tells you a piece of their life, they're giving you a gift, not granting you your due.
Lying Believe Giving
If you establish a democracy, you must in due time reap the fruits of a democracy. you will in due season have great impatience of public burdens, combined in due season with great increase of public expenditure. you will in due season have wars entered into from passion and not from reason; and you will in due season submit to peace ignominiously sought and ignominiously obtained, which will diminish your authority and perhaps endanger your independence. you will in due season find your property is less valuable, and your freedom less complete.

Drive-bys want you to think that donald trump doesn't have a mind of his own. he's either doing what steve bannon tells him to do or he's either doing what jared kushner tells him to do or he's then doing what gary cohn tells him to do, and then sometimes he might do what ivanka trump tells him to do. they want you to believe he doesn't have a mind of his own, that he actually believes the last thing somebody tells him. i don't think that's how it happened.

The very best reason parents are so special . . . is because we are the holders of a priceless gift, a gift we received from countless generations we never knew, a gift that only we now possess and only we can give to our children. that unique gift, of course, is the gift of ourselves. whatever we can do to give that gift, and to help others receive it, is worth the challenge of all our human endeavor.

It is due to justice; due to humanity; due to truth; due to the sympathies of our nature; in fine, to our character as a people, both abroad and at home, that they should be considered, as much as possible, in the light of human beings, and not as mere property. as such, they are acted on by our laws, and have an interest in our laws. they may be considered as making a part, though a degraded part, of the families to which they belong.

The first mistake in the new york times is worrying about granting trump access. they're not "granting" trump access. trump is commanding access. trump is taking access. trump is dictating the daily narrative.

I don't want to name names because they'd be mad at me if i did, but people who are significant novelists can't get published by real publishers at this point, or have to go through two years of trying after writing a novel that's taken them five or six years and simply can't get the thing in print. or it gets in print and it doesn't get reviewed in the new york times book review and disappears without a trace. i mean, it's terrifying. i don't know how anybody can stand it. it's such an enormous amount of work and the economics of it are really quite brutal.

New york seems to be thriving, which i'm grateful for. but i would hope that they would figure out how to negotiate the traffic and limit the pedicabs, because it seems to me that it's becoming a more chaotic city.

Well, marriage doesn't function in the way it used to in terms of deciding our fate, but it's in our heads, and it determines a lot of our actions. like, right now, if you think about gay marriage - and they just started having the first gay marriages in new york - it shows what a potent idea marriage remains for people.

New york has a thousand universes in it that don't always connect but we do all walk the same streets, hear the same sirens, ride the same subways, see the same headlines in the post, read the same writings on the walls. that shared landscape gets inside of all of us and, in some small way, unites us, makes us think we know each other even when we don't.
