Romance is dead - it was acquired in a hostile takeover by Hallmark and Disney, homogenized, and sold off piece by piece.

I am a better person when I let myself have the time for romance and for love.

“Star-crossed lovers desperate to get home together. Two hearts beating as one. Romance.”

“Soul mate romance dissolves the superficial and touches your deepest heart with the delightful power of love.”

“Romance only comes into existence where love is fatal, frowned upon and doomed by life itself.”

The greatest drawback to true love was that once true love unexpectedly ends there is no other romance that can replace it. Romance instead becomes a race, with one’s new beau consistently failing to meet up to the grand expectations set by the meaning of one’s existence. The only one.

There is something sinister, something quite biographical about what I do - but that part is for me. It's my personal business. I think there is a lot of romance, melancholy. There's a sadness to it, but there's romance in sadness. I suppose I am a very melancholy person.

An intriguing world where vampires rule, only the strongest survive, and romance offers hope in the darkest hours.

WORTH IT and perfect are different things. No one’s perfect, yet in romance, everyone becomes WORTH IT. And that’s the trick.

Neither of us says the word love, not once. It would be tempting fate; it would be romance, bad luck.
