“Great romance is like poetry to the senses... so is chocolate!”
“Great poetry must be admired, because it is great and because it is poetry, and so we admire it.”
“Nothing spoils romance so much as a sense of humor in the woman”
“I got you a present.""Did you?""It's a book of poetry--romancy stuff. I thought, 'How schmaltzy is that,' so it seemed like the thing. Then I screwed up and left it in my desk at work”
“Like poetry, in times of intense emotion the image returns to me. Like poetry, it stroked my soul and, by turns, lulled and stoked my senses.”
“common sense is the enemy of romance”
