Patrick Rothfuss Quotes About Rings

Quotes about: Rings

• On his first hand he wore rings of stone,
  Iron, Amber, Wood and Bone.
  There were rings unseen on his second hand,
  One was blood in a flowing band,
  One was air all whisper thin,
  And the ring of ice had a flaw within.
  Full faintly shone the ring of flame,
  And the final ring was without name.

• If you're going to have a book full of clever people and nobody ever jokes, it's just not going to ring true to the reader. That said, humor writing is the hardest kind of writing there is.

• When someone writes something dazzlingly brilliant, people want to imitate it. The result is a lot of less-than-brilliant knock-offs. Elves, Dwarves, Goblin army, cursed ring, evil sorcerer. Tolkien did it. It rocked. Let's move on. Let's do something new.

• The thing that helps me do a good job is that I don't feel the need to explain everything about the world to my reader. I'm not writing a history text on the Four Corners. I'm telling a story that's set there. The setting belongs in the background for the most part, and it's easy for fantasy authors to forget that. That's one of the unfortunate parts of Tolkien's legacy, in my opinion. Read the first hundred pages of the Fellowship of the Ring and you start to get pissed, "Shut up about the Shire's museums! Isn't the world supposed to be in peril or something?"
