“Do you love me, Westley? Is that it?â€�
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 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 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.�
‘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 while?�

‘You are teasing now; aren’t you?�
‘A little maybe; I’ve been saying it so long to you, you just wouldn’t listen. Every time you said ‘Farm boy do thisâ€� you thought I was answering ‘As you wishâ€� but that’s only because you were hearing wrong. ‘I love youâ€� was what it was, but you never heard, and you never heard.”

“I tried to be a better person for herâ€� but it was to impress her, to get her to want me. But when I’m around you, I want to be better becauseâ€� well, because it feels right. Because I want to.
