Romantic

Famous quotes containing the word romantic:

“If there is anything so romantic as that castle-palace-fortress of Monaco I have not seen it. If there is anything more delicious than the lovely terraces and villas of Monte Carlo I do not wish to see them. There is nothing beyond the semi-tropical vegetation, the projecting promontories into the Mediterranean, the all-embracing sweep of the ocean, the olive groves, and the enchanting climate! One gets tired of the word beautiful.”
—M. E. W. Sherwood (1826–1903)

“It is better to have a prosaic husband and to take a romantic lover.”
—Stendhal [Marie Henri Beyle] (1783–1842)

“I’m a romantic—a sentimental person thinks things will last—a romantic person hopes against hope that they won’t.”
—F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940)
