"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."
"Good night, good night! Parting is such sweet sorrow, that I shall say good night till it be morrow."
William Shakespeare on Romantic"Deceiving others. That is what the world calls a romance."
Oscar Wilde on Romantic"The word 'romance,' according to the dictionary, means excitement, adventure, and something extremely real. Romance should last a lifetime."
Billy Graham on Romantic"A tramp, a gentleman, a poet, a dreamer, a lonely fellow, always hopeful of romance and adventure."
Charlie Chaplin on Romantic"Romantic love is mental illness. But it's a pleasurable one. It's a drug. It distorts reality, and that's the point of it. It would be impossible to fall in love with someone that you really saw."
Fran Lebowitz on Romantic"When I first thought of the idea for 'Sweet Valley High,' I loved the idea of high school as microcosm of the real world. And what I really liked was how it moved things on from 'Sleeping Beauty'-esque romance novels where the girl had to wait for the hero. This would be girl-driven, very different, I decided - and indeed it is."
