William Goldman

Now what happens? asked the man in black. We face each other as God intended, Fezzik said. No tricks, no weapons, skill against skill alone. You mean you'll put down your rock and I'll put down my sword and we'll try to kill each other like civilized people, is that it?
William Goldman

William Goldman
But when a girl gives a boy a dead squid - that had to mean something.
William Goldman

William Goldman
Nobody knows anything.
William Goldman
Flaws would not only bring death but, far worse, humiliation.
William Goldman
I understand everything,” he said. “You understand nothing, but it really doesn’t matter, since what you mean is, you’re glad to see me, just as I’m glad to see you because no more loneliness.” “That’s what I mean,” said Fezzik.
William Goldman
You're alive! Fezzik cried. The man in black sat immobile, like a ventriloquist's dummy, just his mouth moving. That is perhaps the most childishly obvious remark I have ever come across.
William Goldman
I must be overtired', Buttercup managed. 'The excitement and all.' 'Rest then', her mother cautioned. 'Terrible things can happen when you're overtired. I was overtired the night your father proposed.
William Goldman
I've been in the revenge buisness for so long, now that it's over I don't know what to do with the rest of my life.
William Goldman
Yes, I am a failed playwright. I had three shows on Broadway by the time I was 30. They all flopped, and I fled.
