Great Romance Quotes

Ang Lee quote: "I think great romance needs great obstacles and textures."
I think great romance needs great obstacles and textures. Ang Lee
People think that if you are a scientist you have to give up that joy of discovery, that passion, that sense of the great romance of life. I say that's completely opposite of the truth. Ann Druyan
There is something so settled and stodgy about turning a great romance into next of kin on an emergency room form, and something so soothing and special, too. Anna Quindlen
Elizabeth Ashley quote: "In a great romance, each person basically plays a part that..."
In a great romance, each person basically plays a part that the other really likes. Elizabeth Ashley
Oh, I can't explain. When I like people immensely, I never tell their names to any one. It is like surrendering a part of them. I have grown to love secrecy. It seems to be the one thing that can make modern life mysterious or marvellous to us. The commonest thing is delightful if one only hides it. When I leave town now I never tell my people where I am going. If I did, I would lose all my pleasure. It is a silly habit, I dare say, but somehow it seems to bring a great deal of romance into... Oscar Wilde
My love affair with (him) had a wonderful element of romance to it, which I will always cherish. But it was not an infatuation, and here’s how I can tell: because I did not demand that he become my Great Emancipator or my Source of All Life, nor did I immediately vanish into that man’s chest cavity like a twisted, unrecognizable, parasitical homonculus. During our long period of courtship, I remained intact within my own personality, and I allowed myself to meet (him) for who he was. Elizabeth Gilbert
I have a history of making decisions very quickly about men. I have always fallen in love fast and without measuring risks. I have a tendency not only to see the best in everyone, but to assume that everyone is emotionally capable of reaching his highest potential. I have fallen in love more times than I care to count with the highest potential of a man, rather than with the man himself, and I have hung on to the relationship for a long time (sometimes far too long) waiting for the man to... Elizabeth Gilbert
Out of the darkness of my life, so much frustrated, I put before you the one great thing to love on earth: the Blessed Sacrament? There you will find romance, glory, honour, fidelity, and the true way of all your loves upon earth. J. R. R. Tolkien
I wish we could sometimes love the characters in real life as we love the characters in romances. There are a great many human souls whom we should accept more kindly, and even appreciate more clearly, if we simply thought of them as people in a story. Gilbert K. Chesterton
Faustina is a great work of the Creator. She has nothing of what you call brains; she doesn't need them for her destiny... It is to be glorious for a few years: not to outlive some dull husband and live on his money till she is eighty, going to lectures and comparing the attractions of winter tours that offer the romance of the Caribbean. Robertson Davies
But there are people who take salt with their coffee. They say it gives a tang, a savour, which is peculiar and fascinating. In the same way there are certain places, surrounded by a halo of romance, to which the inevitable disillusionment you experience on seeing them gives a singular spice. You had expected something wholly beautiful and you get an impression which is infinitely more complicated than any that beauty can give you. It is the weakness in the character of a great man which... W. Somerset Maugham
Bette Davis quote: "Wave after wave of love flooded the stage and washed over me,..."
Wave after wave of love flooded the stage and washed over me, the beginning of the one great durable romance of my life. Bette Davis
I had a great deal of pressure to move to LA after Romancing the Stone came out and I'd become very popular. But people came to me anyway. Kathleen Turner
Tony Scott quote: "There's one great script that hit my desk that I didn't change..."
There's one great script that hit my desk that I didn't change at all, and that was True Romance. Tony Scott
What I really want to do is create great roles for women. And I'm not talking Nicholas Sparks romance. I think women's roles have gotten ghettoized in these sort of places... I'm thinking women in action, comic books, or like the Tony Soprano of women. We need some complex roles. Melissa Rosenberg
