More quotes by 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
No. Not yet. A craftsman only. But I dream to be an artist. I pray that someday, if I work with enough care, if I am very very lucky, I will make a weapon that is a work of art. Call me an artist then, and I will answer.
William Goldman
You are trying to kidnap what I have rightfully stolen, and I think it quite ungentlemanly.
William Goldman
There were some things you did, no matter what, and when a friend needed help, you helped them.
William Goldman

William Goldman
Whoever invented the meeting must have had Hollywood in mind. I think they should consider giving Oscars for meetings: Best Meeting of the Year, Best Supporting Meeting, Best Meeting Based on Material from Another Meeting.
William Goldman
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
There is no room in my body for anything but you.
William Goldman
Inside and out, Westley's world was ripping apart and he could do nothing but crack along 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
You seem a decent fellow, Inigo said. I hate to kill you. You seem a decent fellow, answered the man in black. I hate to die.
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
Just because you're beautiful and perfect, it's made you conceited.
William Goldman
Life is difficult. Anyone who says different is trying to sell you something.
William Goldman
Miracle Max: Have fun stormin' da castle. Valerie: Think it'll work? Miracle Max: It would take a miracle.
William Goldman
The hollowness was in his arms and the world was snowing.

The enemy is always in the mind.
