William Goldman, The Princess Bride

"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.)"

"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."

"We’ll never survive!” “Nonsense. You’re only saying that because no one ever has."

"Buttercup's mother whirled on him. 'Did you forget to pay your taxes?' (This was after taxes. But everything is after taxes. Taxes were here even before stew.)"

"Just because you're beautiful and perfect, it's made you conceited."

"Do I love you? My God, if your love were a grain of sand, mine would be a universe of beaches."

"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."

"Inconceivable!""You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means."

"Westley: This is true love — you think this happens every day?"

"Just because you're beautiful and perfect, it's made you conceited."

"Westley: This is true love — you think this happens every day?"

"When was the last time you read a book? The truth now. And picture books don't count-I mean something with print in it."

"Inconceivable!""You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means."

"Cynics are simply thwarted romantics."

"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?"

"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."

"Life is pain. Anyone who says otherwise is selling something."

"Life isn't fair, it's just fairer than death, that's all."

"Who says life is fair, where is that written?"

"When I was your age, television was called books."
