William Goldman

William Goldman

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
There have been five great kisses since 1642 B.C...(before then couples hooked thumbs.) And the precise rating of kisses is a terribly difficult thing, often leading to great controversy.... Well, this one left them all behind.
William Goldman
But when a girl gives a boy a dead squid - that had to mean something.
William Goldman
You don't want to be rude but you have to be careful - there are a lot of strange people out there. (Goldman attributes this quote to Cliff Robertson.)
William Goldman
You could concentrate much more deeply when you were alone with agony.
William Goldman
My Westley will come for me.
William Goldman
Have fun storming the castle!
William Goldman
Let's look on the bright side: we're having an adventure, Fezzik, and most people live and die without being as lucky as we are.
William Goldman
True love is the best thing in the world, except for cough drops.
William Goldman
