I love to collect quotes from my favorite books and actually mark all the pages with little pieces of paper so I can go back to them whenever I'm missing the world. Here are some of my favorite quotes from Wise Man's Fear.
“So yes. It had flaws, but what does it matter when it comes to matters of the heart? We love what we love. Reason does not enter into it. In many ways, unwise love is the truest love. Anyone can love a thing because. That’s as easy as putting a penny in your pocket. But to love something despite. To know the flaws and love them too. That is rare and pure and perfect.” Kvothe p. 53
“You can divide infinity an infinite number of times and the resulting pieces will still be infinitely large. But if you divide a non-infinite number an infinite numbe oftimes the resulting pieces are non-infinitely small. Since they are non-infinitely small, but there are an infinite number of them, if you add them back together, their sum is infinite. This implies any number is, in fact, infinite.” Uresh
“Wow. Uresh. Your next assignment is to have sex. If you do not know how to do this, see me after class.” Elodin
p. 132
“I will admit, I’ve never had a student offer himself up for a vicious beating in order to prove he’s worth my time.” Vashet
“This was nothing. Once I jumped off a roof.” Kvothe
p. 736
“Well well. I didn’t think we’d have to deal with your type of trouble again. I’d heard you were dead.” Master Hemme
“I heard you wear a red lace corset,” I said matter-of-factly. “But I don’t believe every bit of nonsense that gets rumored about.”
Some shouting followed, and I was quickly brought up on charges of Improper Address of a Master. I was sentenced to compose a letter of apology and fined a single silver talent. Money well spent.
p. 934
