More quotes by 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
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
Have fun storming the castle!
William Goldman
And what have I done? What? WHAT?...You've stolen them. With that, Cornelia fled, but Buttercup understood she knew who them was. The boys. The beef-witted featherbrained rattledskulled clodpated dim-domed noodle-noggined sapheaded lunk-knobbed BOYS.
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
When I was your age, television was called books.
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
Never go in against a Sicilian when death is on the line.
William Goldman
Westley: This is true love — you think this happens every day?
William Goldman
Her mother was my wife, the Count roared, loudest of all. You pathetic excuse for am money-grubbing fool, you disgrace to the face of the world. And with a shriek of disgust he turned and was gone. Guilietta was beside Inigo then, so excited. Daddy likes you, she said.
William Goldman
Life is pain, highness. Anyone who tells you differently is selling something.
William Goldman
I seemed busy, busy, busy, but I suppose, if pressed, I might have admitted that, for all my frenzy, I was very much alone.
William Goldman
I’ll tell you the truth and its up to you to live with it.
William Goldman
Dummy, dummy, go out now and fill your tummy.
William Goldman
You are trying to kidnap what I have rightfully stolen, and I think it quite ungentlemanly.
William Goldman
If all that's going on in your scenes is what's going on in your scenes, think about it a long time.
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
Good night, Westley. Good work. Sleep well. I'll most likely kill you in the morning.
William Goldman
There are always too few perfect breasts in this world leave yours alone.
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
