More quotes by William Goldman
Her heart was a secret garden and the walls were very high.
William Goldman
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. Don't expect too much from life, Buttercup told herself as she rode along. Learn to be satisfied with what you have.
William Goldman
I know something you do not know. I am not left-handed either.
William Goldman
He's right on top of us. I wonder if he is using the same wind we are using.
William Goldman
I've been in the revenge buisness for so long, now that it's over I don't know what to do with the rest of my life.
William Goldman
Do I love you? My God, if your love were a grain of sand, mine would be a universe of beaches.
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
Westly, Westly, Westly, Westly, Westly,--darling Westly, adored Westly, sweet perfect Westly, whisper that I have a chance to win your love. And with that, she dared the bravest thing she'd ever done: she looked right into his eyes. He closed the door in her face.
William Goldman
When I left you, you were already more beautiful than anything I dared to dream. In our years apart, my imaginings did their best to improve on your perfection. At night, your face was forever behind my eyes. And now I see that that vision who kept me company in my loneliness was a hag compared to the beauty now before me.
William Goldman
I mean if we even had a wheelbarrow, that would be something.
William Goldman
My Westley will come for me.
William Goldman
You're alive! Fezzik cried. The man in black sat immobile, like a ventriloquist's dummy, just his mouth moving. That is perhaps the most childishly obvious remark I have ever come across.
William Goldman
People don't remember me. Really. It's not a paranoid thing I just have this habit of slipping through memories. It doesn't bother me all that much, except I guess that's a lie it does. For some reason, I test very high on forgettability.
William Goldman
One of the easiest things in the world is not to write... If it were easy, everyone would do it.
William Goldman
Let's look on the bright side: we're having an adventure, Fezzik, and most people live and die without being as lucky as we are.
William Goldman
Duhhhhhhh, tanks, Buttercup.
William Goldman
He had risked his life and now it was walking away from him, hand-in-hand with a Ruffian prince.
William Goldman
You're an enemy of art and I pity your ignorance, Domingo said.
William Goldman
I must be overtired', Buttercup managed. 'The excitement and all.' 'Rest then', her mother cautioned. 'Terrible things can happen when you're overtired. I was overtired the night your father proposed.
William Goldman
Death cannot stop true love. All it can do is delay it for a while.
William Goldman
