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
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
There are always too few perfect breasts in this world leave yours alone.
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
Inside and out, Westley's world was ripping apart and he could do nothing but crack along with it.
William Goldman
