William Goldman, The Princess Bride

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

"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?"

"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.)"

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

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

"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."

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

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

"Cynics are simply thwarted romantics."

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

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

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

"Cynics are simply thwarted romantics."

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