More quotes by William Goldman
Good night, Westley. Good work. Sleep well. I'll most likely kill you in the morning.
William Goldman
Anybody that says different is selling something.
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
It’s an accepted fact that all writers are crazy, even the normal ones are weird.
William Goldman
True love is the best thing in the world, except for cough drops.
William Goldman
This is my favorite book in all the world, though I have never read it.
William Goldman
Who says life is fair, where is that written?
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
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
Life isn't fair. It's just fairer than death, that's all.
William Goldman
Look, are you just fiddling around with me or what? I just want you to feel you're doing well. I hate for people o die embarrassed.
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
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
There is no room in my body for anything but you.
William Goldman
He was the mighty Fezzik, lover of rhymes, and you did not give up, no matter what.
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
Is this a kissing book?
William Goldman
Let's look on the bright side: we're having an adventure, Fezzik, and most people live and die without being as lucky as we are.
William Goldman
Just because you're beautiful and perfect, it's made you conceited.
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
