More quotes by William Goldman
Look. (Grown-ups skip this paragraph) I'm not about to tell you this book has a tragic ending. I already said in the very first line how it was my favorite in all the world. But there's a lot of bad stuff coming.
William Goldman
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
In Hollywood, no one knows anything.
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
Duhhhhhhh, tanks, Buttercup.
William Goldman
I am as devoted to adventure now as then, and that’s never going to stop.
William Goldman
I’ll tell you the truth and its up to you to live with it.
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
Life is difficult. Anyone who says different is trying to sell you something.
William Goldman
Anybody that says different is selling something.

I suppose I was dying again, so I asked the Lord of Permanent Affection for the strength to live the day. Clearly, the answer came in the affirmative. I didn't know there was such a Fellow, Buttercup said. Neither did I, in truth, but if He didn't exist, I didn't much want to either.
William Goldman
While he was watching the ships, Buttercup shoved him with all her strength remaining. [...] Down went the man in black. [...] You can die too for all I care, she said, and then she turned away. Words followed her. Whispered from far, weak and warm and familiar. As...you...wish...
William Goldman
My Westley will come for me.
William Goldman
You don't want to be rude but you have to be careful - there are a lot of strange people out there. (Goldman attributes this quote to Cliff Robertson.)
William Goldman
You are wonderful, Father.I'm more than wonderful, how dare you insult me.
William Goldman
The Duchess set about studying Annette and shortly found her adversary's tragic flaw. Chocolate.
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
I don't guess. I think. I ponder. I deduce. Then I decide. But I never guess.
William Goldman
He's right on top of us. I wonder if he is using the same wind we are using.
William Goldman
A good writer is not someone who knows how to write- but how to rewrite
