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
I mean if we even had a wheelbarrow, that would be something.

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
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
One way an author dies a little each day is when his books go out of print.
William Goldman
Love is many things none of them logical.
William Goldman
I am your Prince and you will marry me, Humperdinck said. Buttercup whispered, I am your servant and I refuse. I am you Prince and you cannot refuse. I am your loyal servant and I just did. Refusal means death. Kill me then.
William Goldman
