Romance Quotes
-
I am not laughing, Dorian; at least I am not laughing at you. But you should not say the greatest romance of your life. You should say the first romance of your life. You will always be loved, and you will always be in love with love. A grande passion is the privilege of people who have nothing to do. That is the one use of the idle classes of a country. Don't be afraid. There are exquisite things in store for you. This is merely the beginning.
Oscar Wilde -

I don’t shout the loudest, and I’m quite shy, which was why I was reluctant to throw myself into the public eye.

Why should I tell you?" he asked, with no small amount of petulance. "If you tell me, I will leave you alone," I said.

Now I could see the fright beneath the defiance.
Rachel Cohn -

William Hazlitt
-
