Words are pale shadows of forgotten names. As names have power, words have power. Words can light fires in the minds of men. Words can wring tears from the hardest hearts.

Patrick Rothfuss, “The Name of the Wind”

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

Nothing but the truth could break me. What is harder than the truth?

from The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss

Call a jack a jack. Call a spade a spade. But always call a whore a lady. Their lives are hard enough, and it never hurts to be polite.

Patrick Rothfuss, The Name of the Wind

When we are children we seldom think of the future. This innocence leaves us free to enjoy ourselves as few adults can. The day we fret about the future is the day we leave our childhood behind.
