Continued from 422:
"...My heart did not pound or stop or stutter. That is the sort of thing they say happens in stories. Foolishness. Hyperbole. Tripe. But still...
"Go out on the early days of winter, after the first cold snap of the season. Find a pool of water with a sheet of ice across the top, still fresh and new and clear as glass. Near the shore the ice will hold you. Slide out farther. Farther...."

Another fantastic quote:
"As I left, I thought about what Kilvin had said. It was the first thing he had said to me that I did not agree with wholeheartedly. Metal rusts, I though, Music lasts forever.
"Time will eventually prove one of us right."

Continued from 423 update:
"...Eventually you'll find where the surface just barely bears your weight. There you will feel what I felt. The ice splinters under your feet. Look down you can see the white cracks darting though the ice like made, elaborate spiderwebs. It is perfectly silent, but you can feel the sudden sharp vibrations through the bottoms of your feet.
"This is what happened when Denna smiled at me..."

Ah! Patrick Rothfuss is a magician with words!
"... I honestly cannot think of how I could describe it. Lying would be easier. I could steal from a hundred stories and tell you a lie so familiar you would swallow it whole. I could say my knees went to rubber. That my breath came hard in my chest. But that would not be the truth..."

Getting back to reading this book! So excited to catch back up with this wonderful world. Had to stop for school stuff. But now that I've got the rhythm with school, and it works with my current reading challenge: Kvothe, pour me a drink and tell me your tale.
