The writing career is not a romantic one. The writer’s life may be colorful, but his work itself is rather drab.
Mary Roberts Rinehart
I’m no romantic, surfing, California boy. I like reading, writing, philosophizing. Scheming. I’ve been doing some exploration of the inner space.
Henry Hopper
The thing about romance and romantic movies is that they can be somewhat melodramatic. For a lot of actors, there’s a certain cringe factor that’s involved with that.
David Lyons
I think one of the downsides of the sort of obsession with romantic love and personal fulfillment is that the plain fact of the matter is that those feelings don’t last for ever and so they better be replaced and reinforced by things that do.
Mary Archer
A realist, in Venice, would become a romantic by mere faithfulness to what he saw before him.
Arthur Symons
In our romantic groves I adored her like a divinity.
Anne Boyd
Consider what a romantic expedition you are on take notes.
Anne Boyd
So I’m still in my romantic stage with London, I love it as a place.
Christian Cooke
Scotsmen are metaphisical and emotional, they are sceptical and mystical, they are romantic and ironic, they are cruel and tender, and full of mirth and despair.
William Dunbar
The whole westward expansion myth is seen as romantic. But it’s a joke, a blot on American history.
Frank Waters
Forget romantic fiction, a survey has found that most women would rather read a good book than go shopping, have sex, or sleep.
Janet Street-Porter
I want to do all kinds of things. I want to do some comedy. I’d love to do a romantic comedy, and I’d love to do some period pieces with classical text. I’d love somebody to cast me as Macbeth, but for a film. I just want to be all over the place.
Kevin Alejandro
I am not an adolescent, nor a romantic. I analyze objectively.
Dilma Rousseff
There’s something about marriage that is not as intensely romantic or interesting as a couple’s first meeting.
John Sandford
I get some of my ideas from watching my three daughters, but most of them come from my own memories of growing up. I can remember how romantic I was, not just about love, but romance in the classic sense – the romantic ideals: of honor and truth, of loyalty, sacrifice and fairness. Those were the elements that made a story satisfying to me.
