Re-reading aloud with Sydni :-)

“A long stretch of road will teach you more about yourself than a hundred years of quiet introspection”

“… it is simply the way of the world. Looters become loaded, while time and tide make us mercenaries all.”

“That is how heavy a secret can become. It can make blood flow easier than ink.”

“Yesterday he’d looked as if he wanted me dead and buried. Today his look implied that simply buried would be good enough.”

“It would’ve been better if you’d been guilty in a quiet way, rather than be innocent so loud”

Rothfuss is just too good at writing evocative metaphors. I hate him for it.
