William Goldman
But when a girl gives a boy a dead squid - that had to mean something.
William Goldman
Fool! cried the hunchback. You fell victim to one of the classic blunders. The most famous is 'Never get involved in a land war in Asia,' but only slightly less well known is this: 'Never go in against a Sicilian when death is on the line.

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
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
I don't like killing a girl, the Spaniard said. God does it all the time if it doesn't bother Him, don't let it worry you.
William Goldman
Westley and I are joined by the bond of love and you cannot track that, not with a thousand bloodhounds, and you cannot break it, not with a thousand swords.
William Goldman
Get used to disappointment.
William Goldman

William Goldman
Never get involved in a land war in Asia.
William Goldman
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?)
William Goldman
Anything there is that I can do for you, I will do for you anything there is that I cannot do, I will learn to do.
William Goldman
Who are you? No one of consequence. I must know. Get used to disappointment.
William Goldman
