You have to protect your writing time. You have to protect it to the death.
William Goldman

No. Not yet. A craftsman only. But I dream to be an artist. I pray that someday, if I work with enough care, if I am very very lucky, I will make a weapon that is a work of art. Call me an artist then, and I will answer.

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
Image
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
Image
You don't want to be rude but you have to be careful - there are a lot of strange people out there. (Goldman attributes this quote to Cliff Robertson.)

The infant is ten and he stays.
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
Image
Flaws would not only bring death but, far worse, humiliation.
William Goldman

This is my favorite book in all the world, though I have never read it.
William Goldman
Image
I don't guess. I think. I ponder. I deduce. Then I decide. But I never guess.
William Goldman

Her heart was a secret garden and the walls were very high.
