1. Romance is a state of mind. 2. Romance is an attitude. 3. Romance is about the little things- small loving gestures, hugs, saying "I love you" (and meaning it), and sincere compliments.
Gregory Godek
Men always want to be a woman's first love. Women have a more subtle instinct: What they like is to be a man's last romance.
Oscar Wilde
Romance is the poetry of literature.
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
He loved the twilight that surrounds The border-land of old romance; Where glitter hauberk, helm, and lance, And banner waves, and trumpet sounds, And ladies ride with hawk on wrist, And mighty warriors sweep along, Magnified by the purple mist, The dusk of centuries and of song.
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
Parent of golden dreams, Romance! Auspicious queen of childish joys, Who lead'st along, in airy dance, Thy votive train of girls and boys.
Lord Byron
Romance and novel paint beauty in colors more charming than nature, and describe a happiness that humans never taste. How deceptive and destructive are those pictures of consummate bliss
Goldsmith, Oliver
Romance like a ghost escapes touching; it is always where you are not, not where you are. The interview or conversation was prose at the time, but it is poetry in the memory.
Curtis, George William
O for the gentleness of old Romance, the simple planning of a minstrel's song!
John Keats
They spoil every romance by trying to make it last forever.
Oscar Wilde
Men always want to be a woman's first love. Women like to be a man's last romance.
Oscar Wilde
Abstinence for me is about romance. It has nothing to do with my relationship with God. ItÃs definitely a bonus in that department, but itÃs nothing spiritual. ItÃs about giving something special to that person youÃre going to spend the rest of your life with.
Jessica Simpson
Passion is universal humanity. Without it religion, history, romance and art would be useless.
Honore De Balzac
And what's romance? Usually, a nice little tale where you have everything as you like It, where rain never wets your jacket and gnats never bite your nose and it's always daisy-time
D H Lawrence
Romance, like the rabbit at the dog track, is the elusive, fake, and never attained reward which, for the benefit and amusement of our masters, keeps us running and thinking in safe circles
Beverly Jones
To love oneself is the beginning of a lifelong romance
Oscar Wilde
