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
Flaws would not only bring death but, far worse, humiliation.
William Goldman
One way an author dies a little each day is when his books go out of print.
William Goldman
Whoever invented the meeting must have had Hollywood in mind. I think they should consider giving Oscars for meetings: Best Meeting of the Year, Best Supporting Meeting, Best Meeting Based on Material from Another Meeting.
William Goldman
Westley: This is true love — you think this happens every day?
William Goldman
I could give you my word as a Spaniard, Inigo said. No good, the man in black replied. I've known too many Spaniards.
William Goldman
I'm not witch. I'm your wife.
William Goldman
And that's when she put her book down. And looked at me. And said it: Life isn't fair, Bill. we tell our children that it is, but it's a terrible thing to do. It's not only a lie, it's a cruel lie. Life is not fair, and it never has been, and it's never going to be.
William Goldman
Westley and I are joined by the bond of love and you cannot track that, not with a thousand bloodhounds, and you cannot break it, not with a thousand swords.
William Goldman
I don't like killing a girl, the Spaniard said. God does it all the time if it doesn't bother Him, don't let it worry you.
William Goldman
Is this a kissing book?
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
The enemy is always in the mind.
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
Nobody knows anything.
William Goldman
For you see each day I love you more today more than yesterday and less than tomorrow. Just because you're beautiful and perfect, it's made you conceited.
William Goldman
I suppose I was dying again, so I asked the Lord of Permanent Affection for the strength to live the day. Clearly, the answer came in the affirmative. I didn't know there was such a Fellow, Buttercup said. Neither did I, in truth, but if He didn't exist, I didn't much want to either.
William Goldman
Life is difficult. Anyone who says different is trying to sell you something.
William Goldman
You could concentrate much more deeply when you were alone with agony.
William Goldman
The hollowness was in his arms and the world was snowing.
William Goldman
