Christina’s Notes & Highlights

Book cover for The Wise Man's Fear (The Kingkiller Chronicle, #2)

The Wise Man's Fear (The Kingkiller Chronicle, #2) by Patrick Rothfuss

1 highlight

“Remember: there are three things all wise men fear: the sea in storm, a night with no moon, and the anger of a gentle man.”

“I crave your mouth, your voice, your hair.
Silent and starving, I prowl through the streets.
Bread does not nourish me, dawn disrupts me, all day
I hunt for the liquid measure of your steps.”
― Pablo Neruda, 100 Love Sonnets

“I got lost in the night, without the light
of your eyelids, and when the night surrounded me
I was born again: I was the owner of my own darkness.”
