The Name of The Wind:
Ah, man Rothfuss is truly gifted at weaving words together in a thoughtful, compelling way.
Here are some classic one’s:
“It was the patient, cut-flower sound of a man who is waiting to die.”
“You may have heard of me.”
Kvothe obviously has a bunch of good lines, as he’s not only the protagonist, but the narrator for most of the book as well:
“The day we fret about the future is the day we leave our childhood behind.”
“We are more than the parts that form us.”
“Metal rusts, music lasts forever.”
A few from Bast:
“We all become what we pretend to be.”
“You are not wise enough to fear me as I should be feared.”
“You do not know the first note of the music that moves me.”
A few from Elodin:
“Blue! Blue! Blue!”
“You lack the requisite spine and testicular fortitude to study under me.”
“Words can light fires in the minds of men. Words can wring tears from the hardest hearts.”
And from some of the supporting characters:
“Yes I am, isn’t it wonderful?”
“All stories are true.”
“A poet is a musician who can’t sing.”
We could go on and on….
