More quotes by William Goldman
The first morning after Westley's departure, Buttercup thought she was entitled to do nothing more than sit around moping and feeling sorry for herself. After all, the love of her life had fled, life had no meaning, how could you face the future, et cetera, et cetera.
William Goldman
Yes, I am a failed playwright. I had three shows on Broadway by the time I was 30. They all flopped, and I fled.
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
There were some things you did, no matter what, and when a friend needed help, you helped them.

William Goldman
Inside and out, Westley's world was ripping apart and he could do nothing but crack along with it.
William Goldman
There is one crucial rule that must be followed in all creative meetings. Never speak first. At least at the start, your job is to shut up.
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 know something you do not know. I am not left-handed either.
William Goldman
Never go in against a Sicilian when death is on the line.
William Goldman
There are always too few perfect breasts in this world leave yours alone.
William Goldman
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.
William Goldman
I love you. Okay? Want it louder? I LOVE YOU. Spell it out, should I? I ell-oh-vee-ee why-oh-you. Want it backward? You love I.
William Goldman
You have a dizzying intellect.
William Goldman
