The mouthpiece of the half-inarticulate, all-suggesting music that is at once the very soul and the inseparable garment of romance.
- quote by George Saintsbury
The needs that are met by tyrants are as real as those to which freedom answers; sometimes they are more urgent. Tyrants promise security - and release from the tedium of everyday existence. To be sure, this is only a confused fantasy. The drab truth of tyranny is a life spent in waiting. But the perennial romance of tyranny comes from its promising its subjects a life more interesting than any they can contrive for themselves.
- quote by John N. Gray
The time of illusion, then, is the beautiful moment of passion; it represents the artistic zone in which the poet or romance writer ought to be free to do the very best that he can.
- quote by Lafcadio Hearn
There are, indeed, few merrier spectacles than that of many windmills bickering together in a fresh breeze over a woody country; their halting alacrity of movement, their pleasant business, making bread all day with uncouth gesticulation; their air, gigantically human, as of a creature half alive, put a spirit of romance into the tamest landscape.
- quote by Robert Louis Stevenson
- quote by Joey Comeau
They can picture love affairs of chemicals and stars, a romance of stones, or the fertility of fire. Strange, fertile correspondences the alchemists sensed in unlikely orders of being. Between men and planets, plants and gestures, words and weather.
- quote by Jim Morrison
They deny good luck, love, power, romance, and inspirationFrom La Jac Brite ointment and incense of all kinds, And condemn in writing skin brightening and whiteningand whitening of minds. There is upon the federal trade commission a burden of glory So to defend the fact, so to impel The plucking of hope from the hand, honor from the complexion, Sprite from the spell.
- quote by Josephine Miles
This knight was indeed a valiant Gent: but not a little given to romance, when he spake of himself.
- quote by John Evelyn
This Knight was indeede a valiant Gent: but not a little given to romance, when he spake of himselfe.
- quote by John Evelyn
To be born into this earth is to be born into uncongenial surroundings, hence to be born into a romance.
- quote by Gilbert Keith Chesterton
