View Quote Ever heard of Plato, Aristotle, Socrates?...Morons.

View Quote [Repeated line] Inconceivable!

View Quote You fell victim to one of the classic blunders! The most famous is "Never get involved in a land war in Asia," but only slightly less well known is this: "Never go in against a Sicilian when death is on the line!" [laughs maniacally, then falls over dead]

View Quote I always think everything could be a trap, which is why I'm still alive.

View Quote You truly love each other, and so you might have been truly happy. Not one couple in a century has that chance, no matter what the storybooks say. And so I think no man in a century will suffer as greatly as you.

View Quote [in reference to the Machine] Beautiful, isn't it? It took me half a lifetime to invent it. I'm sure you've discovered my deep and abiding interest in pain. At present I'm writing the definitive work on the subject. So I want you to be totally honest with me on how The Machine makes you feel.

View Quote As you know, the concept of the suction pump is centuries old. Well, really, that's all this is. Except that instead of sucking water, I'm sucking life. I've just sucked one year of your life away. I might one day go as high as five, but I really don't know what that would do to you. So, let's just start with what we have. What did this do to you? Tell me. And remember, this is for posterity, so be honest — how do you feel?

View Quote You must be that little Spanish brat I taught a lesson to all those years ago. It's simply incredible. Have you been chasing me your whole life only to fail now? I think that's the worst thing I ever heard. How marvelous.

View Quote Good heavens, are you still trying to win? You've got an over-developed sense of vengeance. It's going to get you in trouble some day.

View Quote [after Inigo repeats his revenge speech several times] Stop saying that!

View Quote [to Westley, in reference to Prince Humperdinck] He can track a falcon on a cloudy day. He can find you.

View Quote You mock my pain!

View Quote You mocked me once; never do it again! I died that day! And you can die too for all I care!

View Quote [as Westley is preparing to fight Humperdinck] Do you promise not to hurt him?!

View Quote [to Humperdinck] It comes to this: I love Westley, I always have. I know now I always will. If you tell me I must marry you in ten days, please believe I will be dead by morning.
