Everyone had told her, since she became a princess-in-training, that she was very likely the most beautiful woman in the world. Now she was going to be the richest and the most powerful as well.

William Goldman
Since the invention of the kiss, there have only been five kisses that were rated the most passionate, the most pure. This one left them all behind.

Enough about my beauty, Buttercup said. Everybody always talks about how beautiful I am. I've got a mind, Westley. Talk about that.

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