“I have stolen princesses back from sleeping barrow kings. I burned down the town of Trebon. I have spent the night with Felurian and left with both my sanity and my life. I was expelled from the University at a younger age than most people are allowed in. I tread paths by moonlight that others fear to speak of during day. I have talked to gods, loved women, and written songs that make the minstrels weep. You may have heard of me.”
― Patrick Rothfuss, The Name of the Wind

“Stop playing verbal games with me, madam, or I shall go out into that ballroom, find your mother, and bring her here”
― Gail Carriger, Soulless

“The person, be it gentleman or lady, who has not pleasure in a good novel, must be intolerably stupid.”
