Nobody knows anything...... Not one person in the entire motion picture field knows for a certainty what's going to work. Every time out it's a guess and, if you're lucky, an educated one.

More quotes by William Goldman
And what have I done? What? WHAT?...You've stolen them. With that, Cornelia fled, but Buttercup understood she knew who them was. The boys. The beef-witted featherbrained rattledskulled clodpated dim-domed noodle-noggined sapheaded lunk-knobbed BOYS.

I've been saying it so long to you, you just wouldn't listen. Every time you said 'Farm Boy do this' you thought I was answering 'As you wish' but that's only because you were hearing wrong. 'I love you' was what it was, but you never heard.
William Goldman
A good writer is not someone who knows how to write- but how to rewrite

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.

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
I write out of revenge.
William Goldman

William Goldman
Cynics are simply thwarted romantics.
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
This is my favorite book in all the world, though I have never read it.
William Goldman
Whoever invented the meeting must have had Hollywood in mind. I think they should consider giving Oscars for meetings: Best Meeting of the Year, Best Supporting Meeting, Best Meeting Based on Material from Another Meeting.
William Goldman
Inconceivable! You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.
William Goldman
Miracle Max: Have fun stormin' da castle. Valerie: Think it'll work? Miracle Max: It would take a miracle.
William Goldman
He's right on top of us. I wonder if he is using the same wind we are using.
William Goldman
Let me get this thing straight, Inigo--we had SCRAPS for dinner? I'M in YOUR fantasy and the best you can come up with is SCRAPS? She turned toward the door then. You have no chance of winning my heart.
William Goldman
Inside and out, Westley's world was ripping apart and he could do nothing but crack along with it.
