Inigo Montoya Quotes

“I have spent all these years preparing to find the six-fingered man and kill him in a duel. But he is a master, Yeste.”

“Stop saying that word. It was inconceivable that anyone could follow us, but when we looked behind, there was the man in black. It was inconceivable that anyone could sail as fast as we could sail, and yet he gained on us. Now this too is inconceivable, but look—look . . . See how he rises.”

“You heard him—true love is what he wants to come back for. That’s certainly worthwhile.”

“Am I ready? If you say I am, I will seek him through the world. If you say no, I will spend another ten years and another ten after that, if that is needed.”

Inigo screamed. He could not believe it; it had not happened. He screamed again. His father was fine; soon they would have tea. He could not stop screaming.

“Who are you?” he screamed.
“No one of import. Another lover of the blade.”
“I must know.”

“I’m not left-handed,” Inigo replied, and with those words, he all but threw the six-fingered sword into his right hand, and the tide of battle turned.

“That was below your heart. Can you guess what I’m doing?”
“Cutting my heart out?”
“You took mine when I was ten; I want yours now. We are lovers of justice, you and I—what could be more just than that?”

“He must have outplanned and outthought Vizzini and he will tell me how to break through the castle and kill the six-fingered beast.”

“Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die!”
