William Goldman, The Princess Bride

"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."

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

"True love is the best thing in the world, except for cough drops."

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

"Cynics are simply thwarted romantics."

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

"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.)"

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

"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."

"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."

"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.)"

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

"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."

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

"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."

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