More quotes by 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

William Goldman
You could concentrate much more deeply when you were alone with agony.
William Goldman
He was the mighty Fezzik, lover of rhymes, and you did not give up, no matter what.
William Goldman
Fezzik's in trouble, bubble bubble, His brain is just not in the pink, His mind is rubble, rub-a-dub double, Because everyone needs him to think.
William Goldman
One of the easiest things in the world is not to write... If it were easy, everyone would do it.
William Goldman
I just know once you're over your emotional outbursts, you'll come up with-' I mean if we even had a wheelbarrow, that would be something,' Westley said.
William Goldman
You have a dizzying intellect.
William Goldman
Liar! Liar! shrieked suddenly from the now open trap door. Miracle Max whirled. Back, Witch-- he commanded. I'm not a witch, I'm your wife-- she was advancing on him now, an ancient tiny fury--and after what you've just done I don't think I want to be that any more--
William Goldman
There’s death coming up, and you better understand this:some of the wrong people die.Be ready for it.
