More quotes by 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
I am your Prince and you will marry me, Humperdinck said. Buttercup whispered, I am your servant and I refuse. I am you Prince and you cannot refuse. I am your loyal servant and I just did. Refusal means death. Kill me then.
William Goldman
I don't guess. I think. I ponder. I deduce. Then I decide. But I never guess.
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
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
As far as the filmmaking process is concerned, stars are essentially worthless - and absolutely essential.
William Goldman
Dummy, dummy, go out now and fill your tummy.
William Goldman
Death cannot stop true love. All it can do is delay it for a while.
William Goldman

William Goldman
Look. (Grown-ups skip this paragraph) I'm not about to tell you this book has a tragic ending. I already said in the very first line how it was my favorite in all the world. But there's a lot of bad stuff coming.
William Goldman
You are trying to kidnap what I have rightfully stolen, and I think it quite ungentlemanly.
William Goldman
No. Not yet. A craftsman only. But I dream to be an artist. I pray that someday, if I work with enough care, if I am very very lucky, I will make a weapon that is a work of art. Call me an artist then, and I will answer.
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
There’s death coming up, and you better understand this:some of the wrong people die.Be ready for it.
William Goldman
Anybody that says different is selling something.
William Goldman
I mean if we even had a wheelbarrow, that would be something.
William Goldman
The Countess was considerably younger than her husband. All of her clothes came from Paris (this was after Paris) and she had superb taste. (This was after taste too, but only just. And since it was such a new thing, and since the Countess was the only lady in all Florin to posses it, is it any wonder she was the leading hostess in the land?)
William Goldman
Flaws would not only bring death but, far worse, humiliation.
William Goldman
Who are you? No one of consequence. I must know. Get used to disappointment.
William Goldman
