Romantic

Famous quotes containing the word romantic:

“The thing to remember about fathers is, they’re men.
A girl has to keep it in mind:
They are dragon-seekers, bent on improbable rescues.
Scratch any father, you find
Someone chock-full of qualms and romantic terrors,
Believing change is a threat—
Like your first shoes with heels on, like your first bicycle
It took such months to get.”
—Phyllis McGinley (1905–1978)

“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)

“It takes a kind of shabby arrogance to survive in our time, and a fairly romantic nature to want to.”
—Edgar Z. Friedenberg (b. 1921)
