You could concentrate much more deeply when you were alone with agony.
William Goldman
Image
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

Who are you? No one of consequence. I must know. Get used to disappointment.

Death cannot stop true love. All it can do is delay it for a while.
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
Image
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
Image
You have a dizzying intellect.
William Goldman
Image
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
Image
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
Image
Inconceivable! You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.
William Goldman
Image
Life is pain, highness. Anyone who says differently is selling something. If this is true, or if you are one of the people who believe this is true, then the one universal way to enjoy life is still the same, which is to learn to be grateful that it is not worse!!
William Goldman

The Duchess set about studying Annette and shortly found her adversary's tragic flaw. Chocolate.
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.
