* This beautiful line: "So yes. It had flaws, but what does that 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."

* The Waystone Inn is possibly named for the stones that Kvothe's family habitually stopped at. Maybe as a symbol that it was okay for other traveling entertainers to stop at his inn, maybe just as an old nostalgia piece. Either way, it's incredibly sweet of Kvothe.

People may hate her, but most of the scenes between Kvothe and Denna are beautiful and sweet.

Kvothe's occasional off the hip poetry scene (In the first book, through clever paragraph formatting, it's hard to tell that Kvothe's reply to Deoch's warning about Denna is in verse:

Deoch, my heart is made

Of stronger stuff than glass.

When she strikes she’ll find

it strong as iron-bound brass

Or gold and adamant

together mixed.

Don’t think I’m unaware,

some startled deer to stand transfixed

By hunter’s horns. It’s she who should take care,

for when she strikes

My heart will make a sound

so beautiful and bright

That it can’t help but bring her back

to me in winged flight.
