More quotes by William Goldman
In Hollywood, no one knows anything.
William Goldman
Buttercup's mother whirled on him. 'Did you forget to pay your taxes?' (This was after taxes. But everything is after taxes. Taxes were here even before stew.)
William Goldman
Miracle Max: Have fun stormin' da castle. Valerie: Think it'll work? Miracle Max: It would take a miracle.
William Goldman
The boys. The village boys. The beef-witted featherbrained rattleskulled clodpated dimdomed noodle-noggined sapheaded lunk-knobbed boys. How could anybody accuse her of stealing them? Why would anybody want them anyway?
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
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
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
The easiest thing to do on earth is not write…But this is life on earth, you can't have everything.
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
There’s death coming up, and you better understand this:some of the wrong people die.Be ready for it.
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
Her heart was a secret garden and the walls were very high.
William Goldman
When was the last time you read a book? The truth now. And picture books don't count-I mean something with print in it.
William Goldman
I write out of revenge.
William Goldman
This is my favorite book in all the world, though I have never read it.
William Goldman
He was the mighty Fezzik, lover of rhymes, and you did not give up, no matter what.
William Goldman
I’ll tell you the truth and its up to you to live with it.
William Goldman
For you see each day I love you more today more than yesterday and less than tomorrow. Just because you're beautiful and perfect, it's made you conceited.
William Goldman
Yes, I am a failed playwright. I had three shows on Broadway by the time I was 30. They all flopped, and I fled.
William Goldman
Anybody that says different is selling something.
William Goldman
