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?)

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
Buttercup's mother hesitated, then put her stew spoon down. (This was after stew, but so is everything. When the first man first clambered from the slime and made his first home on land, what he had for supper that first night was stew.)
William Goldman
He's right on top of us. I wonder if he is using the same wind we are using.
William Goldman
One way an author dies a little each day is when his books go out of print.
William Goldman
Nobody knows anything.
William Goldman
My name is Inigo Montoya, you killed my father, prepare to die!
William Goldman
But when a girl gives a boy a dead squid - that had to mean something.
William Goldman
The infant is ten and he stays.
William Goldman
A good writer is not someone who knows how to write- but how to rewrite
William Goldman
I write out of revenge.
