If your love were a grain of sand, mine would be a universe of beaches!
Love is a Universe of Beaches
Buttercup said, “Do you love me, Westley? Is that it?”
He couldn’t 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 were -”
“I don’t understand that first one yet,” Buttercup interrupted. She was starting to get very excited now. “Let me get this straight. Are you saying my love is a grain of sand and yours is this other thing? Images confuse me so – is this universal business of yours bigger than my sand? Help me, Westley. I have the feeling we’re on the verge of something just terribly important.”
Buttercup and Westley discuss love, or size.
from the movie The Princess Bride(1987)
also a novel
True Love is a Sandwich on the Beach
As Miracle Max put it: “…true love is the greatest thing, in the world-except for a nice MLT – mutton, lettuce and tomato sandwich, where the mutton is nice and lean and the tomato is ripe.”
I’m taking mine to a nice, sandy, sunny beach.
Can you believe that this movie has been around since 1987? My daughter was born in 1987. I’ll bet if I said “Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya,” she would know to respond, “You killed my father. Prepare to die.”
Such a classic!
