Mawwage. Mawwage is what bwings us together today.
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
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
He was the mighty Fezzik, lover of rhymes, and you did not give up, no matter what.
William Goldman
Do I love you? My God, if your love were a grain of sand, mine would be a universe of beaches.
William Goldman

William Goldman
Let me get this thing straight, Inigo--we had SCRAPS for dinner? I'M in YOUR fantasy and the best you can come up with is SCRAPS? She turned toward the door then. You have no chance of winning my heart.
William Goldman
When I left you, you were already more beautiful than anything I dared to dream. In our years apart, my imaginings did their best to improve on your perfection. At night, your face was forever behind my eyes. And now I see that that vision who kept me company in my loneliness was a hag compared to the beauty now before me.
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 had risked his life and now it was walking away from him, hand-in-hand with a Ruffian prince.
William Goldman
Cynics are simply thwarted romantics.
William Goldman
Good night, Westley. Good work. Sleep well. I'll most likely kill you in the morning.
William Goldman
A good writer is not someone who knows how to write- but how to rewrite
