Quote

I've always maintained that men were more romantic than women.

Romance focuses on emotions and on relationships, both of which are fundamentally important to women.

I'm not a romantic. In life I didn't have much experience with romance.

The appeal of romance is love. And that's universal.

There is a fundamental difference between men and women - women need romance, men need intrigue.

It is possible for a woman to be a romantic, but also to be single and to be happy.

Romance is mush, stifling those who strive.

Romance is a bird that will not sing in every bush, and love-affairs, however devoted the sentiments that inspire them, are often so business-like in the prudence with which they are conducted, that romance is reduced to a mere croaking or a disgusted silence.

My wife would say I'm not romantic at all, but I would say that I'm the ultimate romancer because I write about... life being brilliant.
