“They spoil every romance by trying to make it last forever.”

“Always! That is a dreadful word. It makes me shudder when I hear it. Women are so fond of using it. They spoil every romance by trying to make it last forever. It is a meaningless word, too. The only difference between a caprice and a life-long passion is that the caprice lasts a little longer.”

“Nothing spoils romance so much as a sense of humor in the woman”

“Men always want to be a woman's first love - women like to be a man's last romance.”

“Twenty years of romance make a woman look like a ruin; but twenty years of marriage make her something like a public building.”

“What you have told me is quite a romance, a romance of art one might call it, and the worst of having a romance of any kind is that it leaves one so unromantic.”

“All charming people are spoiled. It is the secret of their attraction.”
