Romance Quotes

The general public doesn’t expect romance authors to be Harvard graduates. Which is funny, because there are actually quite a lot of us. But this disconnect means that journalists see me as an interesting story. The tricky part is making sure they understand that there are many, many talented writers who don’t have ‘fancy’ educations Picture Quote #1

I’ve always thought that, as a romance writer, I had the best job in the world. I sit around all day making up emotion-drenched, conflict-laden stories that push my heroes and heroines to the edge of sanity. Then I give them a happy ending Picture Quote #1

If you’re chained to a computer all day, you’re not using up much energy, even if you drag yourself to the gym a couple of days a week. And to make matters worse for me, I’ve had a secondary career right along with my romance writing - cookbook author, under my real name, Ruth Glick Picture Quote #1

People will say, ‘I really don’t like romance,’ or, ‘I don’t read it - at all!’ So how do they know? Weirdly, I think that the ‘Fifty Shades of Grey’ phenomenon introduced women to romance who would never have read it. And that means that they then go on to read my books, and that would be great Picture Quote #1

The reason I write romance is that I like happy endings. The idea, you know, ‘It’s not literature unless is ends badly,’ and I really don’t like that. There’s enough misery and bad things happening in the world Picture Quote #1

I know some people who are like, ‘I love fitness,’ and I feel like if you have to say that, you’re still in the romance stage. I’m in the stage where I’ve been married to it for 60 years, and I don’t think I’ll ever get a divorce Picture Quote #1

I remembered my days and nights of sunshine and starshine, where life was all a wild sweet wonder, a spiritual paradise of unselfish adventure and ethical romance. And I saw before me, ever blazing and burning, the Holy Grail Picture Quote #1

I am a sucker for romance and I love girls and that is a terrible combination, because romance has the ability to overwhelm your perspective Picture Quote #1

What time is it,’ you ask? According to 16 of my dearest writing pals, it’s always time for a wonderful romance! Picture Quote #1

I still don’t understand why the tag of ‘action hero’ follows me. My films have all these elements - romance, action and comedy. None of the fight sequences of my character is an act of randomness. There’s a reason to action in my films Picture Quote #1

You can’t make an action movie without action, and so, you can’t make a romance movie without romance Picture Quote #1

I love movies, of course. ‘Terminator 3’ and ‘Bad Boys II’ - lots of action. Sports movies, action movies, comedies - I’ll go to those, but not ‘las de amor.’ Not romance. It’s not that I don’t like love, but on the screen it bores me Picture Quote #1

The old interests of aristocracy - the romance of action, the exalted passions of chivalry and war - faded into the background, and their place was taken by the refined and intimate pursuits of peace and civilization Picture Quote #1

The word ‘romance,’ according to the dictionary, means excitement, adventure, and something extremely real. Romance should last a lifetime Picture Quote #1

It is not because I do not love my adopted land - it is the natural feeling of one far from home, who remembers those happy, carefree days when life flowed at full tide, without responsibility, flashing past one like the drama in a fascinating story of adventure and romance Picture Quote #1

A task, any task, undertaken in an adventurous spirit acquires the merit of romance Picture Quote #1

Too many women throw themselves into romance because they’re afraid of being single, then start making compromises and losing their identity. I won’t do that Picture Quote #1

I feel the romance should never go out of any marriage. Even after one has had kids etc. Love never ends, na? Picture Quote #1

I sold my first short story while I was home on maternity leave, then began working on novels. Since I was reading and enjoying romance novels at the time, the first two unpublished manuscripts I wrote were both romances. I sold my third novel, ‘Call After Midnight,’ to Harlequin Intrigue after submitting it unagented Picture Quote #1

Here’s the thing about romance novels: The moment when the hero and heroine discover that they’re perfect for each other is often the moment when it’s them against the world Picture Quote #1

I half wish that I had not been born with a sense of romance and beauty in this accursed age Picture Quote #1

I like ‘The Usual Suspects’. Great film. I also like ‘Scarface’, films like that. Lots of gangster films. I really like watching all kinds of films, dramas, romance. I’ll watch comedies. I like Al Pacino, Robert De Niro, Denzel Washington, Chris Rock, Dave Chappelle. I’d like to meet them Picture Quote #1

History is my passion. So I write what I love to read. I find that if I combine history with a strong, sensual romance, it is like a one-two punch. The reader doesn’t want the history without the romance, and of course the heavier the history, the more it has to be leavened with a sensual, all-consuming love story Picture Quote #1

I think it doesn’t matter where you’re from, we all need a bit of romance Picture Quote #1

Selfishness, control, and fear will break almost any relationship. Generosity, freedom, and love will create the most beautiful relationship: an ongoing romance Picture Quote #1

Even in 2014, when romance heroes are as varied as their genre, somewhere in them you can still always find the alpha male Picture Quote #1

I’d gone to Wellesley College, an amazing women’s college where the students were encouraged to follow our dreams. However, after I graduated and had a historical romance published, more than a few people indicated that, in some way, my career choice was a ‘waste’ of so much education Picture Quote #1

It was always a dream as I was growing up. I would watch movies, mostly American movies, and be so engrossed in those stories, all I wanted to do was be there. I wanted to be part of that romance or that fantasy or be that warrior or that struggling soul who finally makes it good Picture Quote #1

He believes in romance. He isn’t merely going through the mechanical movements of a man in an exciting situation. He is, vitally and positively squeezing the last drop of delight from living the best life he knows in the best way he can Picture Quote #1

Romance is important, but to have a friend you can use as a mirror, who can give you an objective response, that’s what’s really important Picture Quote #1
