About This Quote
In the end, the world always wins. That's just the way of things. This is a reference to 'The Princess Bride." In this quote, Westley says to Buttercup: "No matter what happens, in the end, the world always wins. That's just the way of things." This statement is basically saying that no matter what happens in life we will always end up with a good outcome. This is true but we should not let our imaginations get too carried away and think that we will end up with a perfect happiness and that everything will be ideal.
