Romance only dies with life. No pair of pincers will ever pull it out of us. But there is a spurious sentiment which cannot resist the unexpected and the incongruous and the grotesque. A touch will loosen it, and the sooner it goes from us the better.
- quote by E. M. Forster
Romance should never begin with sentiment. It should begin with science and end with a settlement.
- quote by Oscar Wilde
Romances paint at full length people's wooings, But only give a bust of marriages: For no one cares for matrimonial cooings. There's nothing wrong in a connubial kiss. Think you, if Laura had been Petrarch's wife, He would have written sonnets all his life?
- quote by Lord Byron
She who makes her husband and her children happy, who reclaims the one from vice, and trains up the other to virtue, is a much greater character than the ladies described in romance, whose whole occupation is to murder mankind with shafts from their quiver or their eyes.
- quote by Oliver Goldsmith
Some say that the age of chivalry is past, that the spirit of romance is dead. The age of chivalry is never past so long as there is a wrong left unredressed on earth.
- quote by Charles Kingsley
- quote by Warren Farrell
The heaven of poetry and romance still lies around us and within us.
- quote by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
The history of the Bible text is a romance of literature, though it is a romance of which the consequences are of vital import; and thanks to the succession of discoveries which have been made of late years, we know more about it than of the history of any other ancient book in the world.
- quote by Frederic G. Kenyon
The life of man is the true romance, which when it is valiantly conducted will yield the imagination a higher joy than any fiction.
- quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson
The mouthpiece of the half-inarticulate, all-suggesting music that is at once the very soul and the inseparable garment of romance.
- quote by Walther Von Der Vogelweide
