I don't have this fantasy about marriage anymore. Everyone says it takes hard work. Well, it kind of does - and I'm much more pragmatic about romance than I used to be.
Jennifer Garner

I don't like to search too much. I find it is easier when romance finds you.
Michelle Trachtenberg

I don't think having a My Chemical Romance action figure will make a kid start his own band, I like to think it will make him save children from a burning building.
Gerard Way

I had a romance novel inside me, but I paid three sailors to beat it out if me with steel pipes.
Patton Oswalt

I know that some endeavor to throw the mantle of romance over the subject and treat woman like some ideal existence, not liable to the ills of life. Let those deal in fancy who have nothing better to deal in; we have to do with sober, sad realities, with stubborn facts.
Ernestine Rose

I long for the days when athletes were revered. I want to see the romance return to sports, to see people enjoy the game purely for the game and the players.
Mike Piazza

I love Elmore Leonard. To me, True Romance is basically like an Elmore Leonard movie.
Quentin Tarantino

I love romance. I'm a sucker for it. I love it so much. It's pathetic.
Drew Barrymore

I loved old black and white movies, especially the Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers musicals. I loved everything about them - the songs, the music, the romance and the spectacle. They were real class and I knew that I wanted to be in that world.
Sharon Stone

I stayed in submission to my husband, and he allowed me to do anything I wanted to. I felt like I was lucky to have that kind of romance.
June Carter Cash

I think romance is anything honest. As long as it's honest, it's so disarming.
Kristen Stewart

I think that men know how to romance a woman and most do it well, at least for a time, otherwise women wouldn't marry them. The problem is that most of them begin to rest on their laurels.
Nicholas Sparks

I think that musicians should never forget about the intimacy of bringing two people together, and the aesthetic transference where you're almost vicariously involved in a romance between other people.
Joe Williams

I want the concentration and the romance, and the worlds all glued together, fused, glowing: have no time to waste any more on prose.
Virginia Woolf

I was married when I was 17. I knew nothing. I was full of romance.
Gloria Swanson

I was obsessed with romance. When I was in high school, I saw 'Doctor Zhivago' every day from the day it opened until the day it left the theater.
John Hughes

I'm 31 now. I think I'm beginning to understand what life is, what romance is, and what a relationship means.
Adam Sandler

I'm a feminist, but I think that romance has been taken away a bit for my generation. I think what people connect with in novels is this idea of an overpowering, encompassing love - and it being more important and special than anything and everything else.
Emma Watson

I'm not cynical about marriage or romance. I enjoyed being married. And although being single was fun for a while, there was always the risk of dating someone who'd owned a lunch box with my picture on it.
Shaun Cassidy

If a June night could talk, it would probably boast it invented romance.
Bern Williams
