More quotes by William Goldman
Her heart was a secret garden and the walls were very high.
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
The hollowness was in his arms and the world was snowing.
William Goldman

William Goldman
One of the easiest things in the world is not to write... If it were easy, everyone would do it.
William Goldman
In Hollywood, no one knows anything.
William Goldman
Good night, Westley. Good work. Sleep well. I'll most likely kill you in the morning.
William Goldman
i have come to terms with my life, and that is my affair - i am not cold, i swear, but i have decided certain things, it is best for me to ignore emotion i have not been happy dealing with it.
William Goldman
Life isn't fair. It's just fairer than death, that's all.
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
