    Jalal ad-Din Muhammad ar-Rumi
    “I want to see you.

    Know your voice.

    Recognize you when you
    first come 'round the corner.

    Sense your scent when I come
    into a room you've just left.

    Know the lift of your heel,
    the glide of your foot.

    Become familiar with the way
    you purse your lips
    then let them part,
    just the slightest bit,
    when I lean in to your space
    and kiss you.

    I want to know the joy
    of how you whisper
    "more”
    Mawlana Jalal-al-Din Rumi

    Patrick Rothfuss
    “I thought of all the others who had tried to tie her to the ground and failed. So I resisted showing her the songs and poems I had written, knowing that too much truth can ruin a thing. And if that meant she wasn't entirely mine, what of it? I would be the one she could always return to without fear of recrimination or question. So I did not try to win her and contented myself with playing a beautiful game. But there was always a part of me that hoped for more, and so there was a part of me that was always a fool.”
    Patrick Rothfuss, The Wise Man's Fear

    “I have an apple that thinks its a pear. And a bun that thinks it’s a cat. And a lettuce that thinks its a lettuce."
    "It’s a clever lettuce, then."
    "Hardly," she said with a delicate snort. "Why would anything clever think it’s 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.”
    Patrick Rothfuss, The Wise Man's Fear

    “Someday, Locke Lamora,” he said, “someday, you’re going to fuck up so magnificently, so ambitiously, so overwhelmingly that the sky will light up and the moons will spin and the gods themselves will shit comets with glee. And I just hope I’m still around to see it.”
    “Oh please,” said Locke. “It’ll never happen.”
    Scott Lynch, The Lies of Locke Lamora
