More quotes by William Goldman
Look, are you just fiddling around with me or what? I just want you to feel you're doing well. I hate for people o die embarrassed.
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
I’ll tell you the truth and its up to you to live with it.
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
The Queen's Pride was his ship, and he loved her. (That was the way his sentences always went: It is raining today and I love you. My cold is better and I love you. Say hello to Horse and I love you. Like that.)
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
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
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
Never go in against a Sicilian when death is on the line.
William Goldman
I love you,” Buttercup said. “I know this must come as something of a surprise, since all I’ve ever done is scorn you and degrade you and taunt you, but I have loved you for several hours now, and every second, more.
William Goldman
Flaws would not only bring death but, far worse, humiliation.
William Goldman
But when a girl gives a boy a dead squid - that had to mean something.
William Goldman
Enough about my beauty, Buttercup said. Everybody always talks about how beautiful I am. I've got a mind, Westley. Talk about that.
William Goldman
Now what happens? asked the man in black. We face each other as God intended, Fezzik said. No tricks, no weapons, skill against skill alone. You mean you'll put down your rock and I'll put down my sword and we'll try to kill each other like civilized people, is that it?
William Goldman
Never get involved in a land war in Asia.
William Goldman
The Duchess set about studying Annette and shortly found her adversary's tragic flaw. Chocolate.
William Goldman
The hollowness was in his arms and the world was snowing.
William Goldman
Anybody that says different is selling something.
William Goldman
It’s an accepted fact that all writers are crazy, even the normal ones are weird.
William Goldman
At 8:23 there seemed every chance of a lasting alliance starting between Florin and Guilder. At 8:24 the two nations were very close to war.
William Goldman
