William Goldman quote #127 from The Princess Bride

Do you love me Westley Is that itHe couldnt believe it. Do I love you My God if your love were a grain of sand mine would be a universe of beaches. If your love wereI dont understand the first one yet Buttercup interrupted. She was starting to get very excited now. Let me get this straight. Are you saying my love is the size of a grain of sand and yours is this other thing Images just confuse me sois this universal business of yours bigger than my sand Help me Westley. I have the feeling were on the verge of something just terribly important.I have stayed these years in my hovel because of you. I have taught myself languages because of you. I have made my body strong because I thought you might be pleased by a strong body. I have lived my life with only the prayer that some sudden dawn you might glance in my direction. I have not known a moment in years when the sight of you did not send my heart careening against my rib cage. I have not known a night when your visage did not accompany me to sleep. There has not been a morning when you did not flutter behind my waking eyelids.Is any of this getting through to you Buttercup or do you want me to go on for a whileNever stop.There has not beenIf youre teasing me Westley Im just going to kill you.How can you even dream I might be teasingWell you havent once said you loved me.Thats all you need Easy. I love you. Okay Want it louder I love you. Spell it out should I I ell-oh-vee-ee why-oh-you. Want it backward You love I.You are teasing now arent youA little maybe 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 and you never heard.
