“Close your mouth, E'lir Kvothe, or I will feel obliged to put some vile tonic in it.”

“If your name is getting too heavy, you should have Kvothe give you a new one.”

“[Simmon] "Go on."I [Kvothe] stayed where I was. "It's not that easy.""Nothing's ever easy with you," Wilem muttered.”

“I have been called Kvothe the Bloodless, Kvothe the Arcane, and Kvothe Kingkiller. I have earned those names. Bought and paid for them.But I was brought up as Kvothe. My father once told me it meant "to know."I have, of course, been called many other things. Most of them uncouth, although very few were unearned.I have stolen princesses back from sleeping barrow kings. I burned down the town of Trebon. I have spent the night with Felurian and left with both my sanity and my life. I was expelled from the University at a younger age than most people are allowed in. I tread paths by moonlight that others fear to speak of during day. I have talked to Gods, loved women, and written songs that make the minstrels weep.You may have heard of me.”

“Benim yüzümden susayım deme Kvothe, yoksa sesini özlerim.”

“Demasiados pensamientos, mi Kvothe. Sabes demasiado para ser feliz".”

“La música existe para cuando nos fallan las palabras. (Kvothe)”
