More quotes by William Goldman
Dummy, dummy, go out now and fill your tummy.
William Goldman
Westly, Westly, Westly, Westly, Westly,--darling Westly, adored Westly, sweet perfect Westly, whisper that I have a chance to win your love. And with that, she dared the bravest thing she'd ever done: she looked right into his eyes. He closed the door in her face.
William Goldman
I seemed busy, busy, busy, but I suppose, if pressed, I might have admitted that, for all my frenzy, I was very much alone.
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
Westley: This is true love — you think this happens every day?
William Goldman
Her mother was my wife, the Count roared, loudest of all. You pathetic excuse for am money-grubbing fool, you disgrace to the face of the world. And with a shriek of disgust he turned and was gone. Guilietta was beside Inigo then, so excited. Daddy likes you, she said.
William Goldman
When was the last time you read a book? The truth now. And picture books don't count-I mean something with print in it.
William Goldman
Mawwage. Mawwage is what bwings us together today.
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
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
A good writer is not someone who knows how to write- but how to rewrite
William Goldman
The easiest thing to do on earth is not write…But this is life on earth, you can't have everything.
William Goldman
The first morning after Westley's departure, Buttercup thought she was entitled to do nothing more than sit around moping and feeling sorry for herself. After all, the love of her life had fled, life had no meaning, how could you face the future, et cetera, et cetera.
William Goldman
He was the mighty Fezzik, lover of rhymes, and you did not give up, no matter what.
William Goldman
The Queen's Pride was his ship, and he loved her. (That was the way his sentences always went: It is raining today and I love you. My cold is better and I love you. Say hello to Horse and I love you. Like that.)
William Goldman
And what have I done? What? WHAT?...You've stolen them. With that, Cornelia fled, but Buttercup understood she knew who them was. The boys. The beef-witted featherbrained rattledskulled clodpated dim-domed noodle-noggined sapheaded lunk-knobbed BOYS.
William Goldman
Have fun storming the castle!
William Goldman
But when a girl gives a boy a dead squid - that had to mean something.
William Goldman
He had risked his life and now it was walking away from him, hand-in-hand with a Ruffian prince.
William Goldman
Never get involved in a land war in Asia.
William Goldman
