I didnt even know this chapter existed until I began the good parts ve — The Princess Bride

"Anyway, heres the "good parts" version. S. Morgenstern wrote it. And my father read it to me. And now I give it to you. What you do with it will be of more than passing interest to us all."

"Prince Humperdinck actually ran things. If there had been a Europe, he would have been the most powerful man in it. Even as it was, nobody within a thousand miles wanted to mess with him."

"Ive been saying it so long to you, you just wouldnt listen. Every time you said Farm Boy do this you thought I was answering As you wish but thats only because you were hearing wrong. I love you was what it was, but you never heard."

"Flailing and thrashing, Buttercup wept and tossed and paced and wept some more, and there have been three great cases of jealousy since David of Galilee was first afflicted with the emotion when he could no longer stand the fact that his neighbor Sauls cactus outshone his own. (Originally, jealousy pertained solely to plants, other peoples cactus or ginkgoes, or later, when there was grass, grass, which is why, even to this day, we say that someone is green with jealousy.) Buttercups case rated a close fourth on the all-time list."

"Hunting was [Humperdincks] love. Once he was determined, once he had focused on an object, the Prince was relentless. He never tired, never wavered, neither ate nor slept. It was death chess and he was international grand master."

"People dont remember me. Really. Its not a paranoid thing; I just have this habit of slipping through memories. It doesnt bother me all that much, except I guess thats a lie; it does. For some reason, I test very high on forgettability."
