Romantic

Famous quotes containing the word romantic:

    The importance of a lost romantic vision should not be underestimated. In such a vision is power as well as joy. In it is meaning. Life is flat, barren, zestless, if one can find one’s lost vision nowhere.
    Sarah Patton Boyle, U.S. civil rights activist and author. The Desegregated Heart, part 1, ch. 19 (1962)

    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)

    As for the author, he is profoundly unaware of what the classical or romantic genre might consist of.... In literature, as in all things, there is only the good and the bad, the beautiful and the ugly, the true and the false.
    Victor Hugo (1802–1885)
