quotations about romance

M. C. DILLON

Is it goodbye to those one night stands
Where you get what you want
Such a crazy steal

Romance is resilient ... the collapse of the first crystallization is typically but a phase in the construction of the second -- those who dwell in and for illusion eventually learn to tolerate the vicissitudes of its dialectic, even to celebrate them for the sake of intensity and the frisson which is the telos of romance.
M. C. DILLON
Beyond Romance
In the ballroom of romance, there's a young man waiting,
Standing looking over at the scene, it could be you or me,
Every eye in the room was watching as she walked over to him,
Whispered "do you want to come with me, I'm heading for the beach,"
In her BMW 635, going smooth at ninety, feeling good to be alive,
And then the moon began to shimmer,
Hey the sea was roaring in,
Just one kiss and then his heart,
Began to sing, he said
I'm ready, I'm ready for romance.

And time time is gone
It never lasts
Stops who it wants
Well I was wrong
It never lasts
This is no
There is no
Modern romance

Romance is a fragile and endangered condition.
STEPHEN A. MITCHELL
Can Love Last?
The Art of the Romance, though warning us that it is providing fictions, opens a door into the Palace of Absurdity, and when we have lightly stepped inside, slams it shut behind us.
UMBERTO ECO
The Island of the Day Before
Everybody everybody ooh (ooh), alright (alright)
Dance, music, sex, romance

Romance is nothing more than savoring your partner and the gifts of your intimate relationship. From that place of savoring, from that place of gratefulness, you give back. You slow down and nurture your partner. You slow down and get in touch with what makes your partner's heart sing.
