The Princess Bride quotes
Page 4 of 8You 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]
I always think everything could be a trap, which is why I'm still alive.
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.
[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.
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?
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.
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.
[to Westley, in reference to Prince Humperdinck]
He can track a falcon on a cloudy day. He can find you.
You mock my pain!
You mocked me once; never do it again! I died that day! And you can die too for all I care!
[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.
