More quotes by 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
You're an enemy of art and I pity your ignorance, Domingo said.
William Goldman
Who says life is fair, where is that written?
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
Who are you? No one of consequence. I must know. Get used to disappointment.
William Goldman
Enough about my beauty, Buttercup said. Everybody always talks about how beautiful I am. I've got a mind, Westley. Talk about that.
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
True love is the best thing in the world, except for cough drops.
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.
William Goldman
I guess the most amazing thing about crying though is that when you're in it, you think it'll go on forever but it never really lasts half what you think. Not in terms of real time. In terms of real emotions, it's worse than you think, but not by the clock.
William Goldman
I just know once you're over your emotional outbursts, you'll come up with-' I mean if we even had a wheelbarrow, that would be something,' Westley said.
William Goldman
The hollowness was in his arms and the world was snowing.
William Goldman
The Duchess set about studying Annette and shortly found her adversary's tragic flaw. Chocolate.
William Goldman
If all that's going on in your scenes is what's going on in your scenes, think about it a long time.
William Goldman
Being a screenwriter is not enough for a full creative life.
William Goldman
I'm not witch. I'm your wife.
William Goldman
Mawwage. Mawwage is what bwings us together today.
William Goldman
Since the invention of the kiss, there have only been five kisses that were rated the most passionate, the most pure. This one left them all behind.
William Goldman
Someone would have to keep his wits, and he had assumed automatically that since Fezzik had so few, he would find retaining them not all that difficult.
William Goldman
Cynics are simply thwarted romantics.
William Goldman
