To love oneself is the beginning of a lifelong romance.
- quote by Oscar Wilde
Too many women throw themselves into romance because they're afraid of being single, then start making compromises and losing their identity. I won't do that.
- quote by Julie Delpy
Tradition wears a snowy beard, romance is always young.
- quote by John Greenleaf Whittier
Twenty years of romance makes a woman look like a ruin; but twenty years of marriage makes her look like a public building.
- quote by Oscar Wilde
We are a people captivated by the power and romance of metaphor, forever seeking the invisible through the image of the visible.
- quote by Lewis H. Lapham
Well it's a marvelous night for a moondance, With the stars up above in your eyes. A fantabulous night to make romance, 'Neath the cover of October skies.
- quote by Van Morrison
What captivity has been to the Jews, exile has been to the Irish. For us, the romance of our native land begins only after we have left home; it is really only with other people that we become Irishmen.
- quote by Peter Ackroyd
What had become of his dream of idylls, his gentle bookish romance? Vanished before a reality which smacked horribly of crude melodrama and possibly of sordid crime. His gorge rose at the picture, but a thought troubled him. Perhaps all romance in its hour of happening was rough and ugly like this, and only shone rosy in the retrospect. Was he being false to his deepest faith?
- quote by John Buchan
When a writer calls his work a Romance, it need hardly be observed that he wishes to claim a certain latitude, both as to its fashion and material, which he would not have felt himself entitled to assume had he professed to be writing a Novel.
- quote by Nathaniel Hawthorne
When I behold, upon the night's starred face Huge cloudy symbols of a high romance, And think that I may never live to trace Their shadows, with the magic hand of chance; And when I feel, fair creature of an hour, That I shall never look upon thee more, Never have relish in the faery power Of unreflecting love;then on the shore Of the wide world I stand alone, and think Till love and fame to nothingness so sink.
- quote by John Keats
