Away with old Romance! Away with novels, plots and plays of foreign courts; Away with love-verses, sugar'd in rhyme, the intrigues, amours of idlers; Fitted for only banquets of the night where dancers to late music slide; The unhealthy pleasures, ex
John Keats
Treading the soil of the moon, palpitating its pebbles, tasting the panic and splendor of the event, feeling in the pit of one's stomach the separation from terra - these form the most romantic sensation an explorer has ever known
Vladimir Nabokov

Lord Byron

John Buchan
It didn't dawn on me until you were gone just how much I would mis you. Sometimes I start to pick up the phone to see if you want to do something, and then I remember you're far away. Or I go somewhere we used to go, see people having fun, and wish we could be there, too, laughing and talking like they are. Don't get me wrong...I hope you're having a good time exploring new places and making new friends. I just miss you...I guess that's only natural when someone means as much to me as you
Renee Duval
Tears and fears and feeling proud to say 'I love you' right out loud
Joni Mitchell
T'is our Love that finds us! And the glue that binds us! And in this we know that by faith we show We are ever strong.
Ben Fox
We are all born for love. It is the principle of existence, and its only end
Benjamin Disraeli
Romance has been elegantly defined as the offspring of fiction and love.
Benjamin Disraeli
Love is not enough. It must be the foundation, the cornerstone- but not the complete structure. It is much too pliable, too yielding.
Bette Davis
Never close your lips to those whom you have opened your heart.
Charles Dickens
Your slightest look easily will unclose me, though I have closed myself as fingers, you open petal by petal myself a Spring opens her first rose.
E.E. Cummings
