More quotes by William Goldman
But when a girl gives a boy a dead squid - that had to mean something.
William Goldman
Nobody knows anything...... Not one person in the entire motion picture field knows for a certainty what's going to work. Every time out it's a guess and, if you're lucky, an educated one.
William Goldman
If all that's going on in your scenes is what's going on in your scenes, think about it a long time.
William Goldman
Death cannot stop true love. All it can do is delay it for a while.
William Goldman
Life is difficult. Anyone who says different is trying to sell you something.
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
This is my favorite book in all the world, though I have never read it.
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
Have fun storming the castle!
William Goldman
You could concentrate much more deeply when you were alone with agony.
William Goldman
The infant is ten and he stays.
William Goldman
Flaws would not only bring death but, far worse, humiliation.
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
The hollowness was in his arms and the world was snowing.
William Goldman
Inconceivable! You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.
William Goldman
Why do you wear a mask and hood? I think everybody will in the near future, was the man in black's reply. They're terribly comfortable.
William Goldman
I've been saying it so long to you, you just wouldn't listen. Every time you said 'Farm Boy do this' you thought I was answering 'As you wish' but that's only because you were hearing wrong. 'I love you' was what it was, but you never heard.
William Goldman
Good night, Westley. Good work. Sleep well. I'll most likely kill you in the morning.
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
One of the easiest things in the world is not to write... If it were easy, everyone would do it.
William Goldman
