Romantic love is an illusion. Most of us discover this truth at the end of a love affair or else when the sweet emotions of love lead us into marriage and then turn down their flames.
Thomas More
It is difficult for some people to accept that love is a choice. This seems to run counter to the generally accepted theory of romantic love which expounds that love is inborn and as such requires no more than to accept it.
Leo F. Buscaglia
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
Dying is not romantic, and death is not a game which will soon be over... Death is not anything... death is not... It`s the absence of presence, nothing more... the endless time of never coming back... a gap you can`t see, and when the wind blows through ...
Tom Stoppard
Treading the soil of the moon, palpitating its pebbles, tasting the panic and splendor of the event, feeling in the pit of one`s stomach the separation from terra - these form the most romantic sensation an explorer has ever known
Vladimir Nabokov
Playboy isn`t like the downscale, male bonding, beer-swilling phenomena that is being promoted now by (some men`s magazines). My whole notion was the romantic connection between male and female.
Hugh Hefner
Love at first sight? I absolutely believe in it! You`ve got to keep the faith. Who doesn`t like the idea that you could see someone tomorrow and she could be the love of your life? It`s very romantic.
Leonardo DiCaprio
[When asked what romantic character he would want to be] [Pablo Picasso]. I love the idea that he used to just sit and stare at an empty canvas for as long as 12 hours straight. If you keep staring at the canvas, the hope is that something or someone will...
Al Pacino
[On Ingrid Bergman] "I didn`t do anything I`ve never done before, but when the camera moves in on that Bergman face, and she`s saying she loves you, it would make anybody feel romantic."
Humphrey Bogart
I do agree you can`t just make movies three hours long for no apparent reason. For a romantic comedy to be three hours long, that`s longer than most marriages.
David Fincher
When I was doing The Bridges of Madison County (1995), I said to myself, "This romantic stuff is really tough. I can`t wait to get back to shooting and killing."
Clint Eastwood
To me, Devdas is the end of love stories. I`ve portrayed an obsessed lover, a nice lover, an angry lover, a romantic lover. And now I`ve played Devdas. For someone who doesn`t even like love stories, I`ve played an awful lot of lovers. Personally speaking...
Shahrukh Khan
About girlfriend Pamela Anderson Oct. 2000: "She is the most beautiful, famous and sexy woman in the world. We are crazy about each other. ... Yes, marriage and children too, definitely. But I don`t want to rush anything. I am a romantic."
Marcus Schenkenberg
Girls who are older than me, girls that are smaller, pretty long dark hair, honest, loyal, very romantic, someone that loves me for who I am deep down inside, someone who is independent, fiesty with a great personality, good heart, most of all - my dream ...
Nick Carter
[on what inspired him to became a "mood music" legend, via a series of successful albums] Every time I ever watched Clark Gable do a love scene in the movies, I`d hear this really pretty music, real romantic, come up behind him and help set the mood. So I...
Jackie Gleason
On living in Eric Clapton`s country house: "I loved living in the country; that was the best time we had. It was the most staggeringly romantic garden. There was a sadness in the house and garden, a kind of melancholy which was very Eric, in a way, and ve...
Pattie Boyd
This is the best love theme I`ve ever written, I keep telling everyone this is a romantic comedy, but nobody believes me. - [on Hannibal (2001)]
Hans Zimmer
I suppose women find me attractive because I am polite, charming, courteous...a gentleman. My romantic reputation is an exaggeration. The realities are a bit different.
Michael Rennie
Clearly romantic comedy is my franchise genre, I don`t mind saying that, it`s true. I love doing them and hopefully always will do them. I don`t feel particularly typecast because I think I do so many different kinds of things. Whether they`re seen or not...
Meg Ryan
I don`t think Hollywood knows what to do with me. I would imagine that when it comes to romantic comedies, my name would be pretty low down on the list.
Gary Oldman
For a single guy, I guess that [romantic] stuff is loads of fun. As a married guy, you loathe all the romantic storylines you have to do. It`s strange to have your wife see you kissing someone else. I`m old-fashioned that way, but she was fine with it. (`...

Christopher Gorham
I`m not about to talk about what`s romantic in my life - I figure if you talk about it once - then that`s an open invitation for everyone to dig into your personal life even further. So, I just keep my private life to myself. If people want to write anyth...
James Van Der Beek
What I admire most about Bridget is her ever-present optimism in the face of adversity. I love how she has romantic troubles, but she gets back up and even laughs at herself. Me? I do my best. I keep on trying, anyway.
Renee Zellweger
