"In other words, almost impossible is a synonym for ever-so-slightly possible.

That's how I ended up in charge of a prison break."

~Tori Pritel in Master Minds: Criminal Destiny by Gordon Korman

 

"Mostly dead is slightly alive....

Have fun storming the castle!"

~Miracle Max in The Princess Bride: S. Morganstern's classic tale of true love and high adventure by William Goldman

 

Hi, Elizabeth,

Thanks for posting. Yes, the simile is similar -- "almost impossible/slightly possible" and "mostly dead/slightly alive."

I'm honored to have mine compared with Goldman's. THE PRINCESS BRIDE is one of my very favorite movies!
