“History presents the pleasantest features of poetry and fiction,--the majesty of the epic, the moving accidents of the drama, the surprises and moral of the romance. Wallace is a ruder Hector; Robinson Crusoe is not stranger that Croesus; the Knights of Ashby never burnish the page of Scott with richer lights of lance and armor than the Carthaginians, winding down the Alps, cast upon Livy.” LightRomanceMovingFictionMoralHistoryDramaPagesSurpriseCastsStrangerAccidentsFeaturesEpicMajestyKnightsArmorAlpsHectorRobinson CrusoeWinding Down Book:Pleasures of Literature Source: Pleasures of Literature
“Wine has been to me a firm friend and a wise counsellor. Wine has lit up for me the pages of literature, and revealed in life romance lurking in the commonplace. Wine has made me bold, but not foolish; has induced me to say silly things, but not do them. If such small indiscretions standing in the debit column of wine's account were added up, they would amount to nothing in comparison with the vast accumulation on the credit side.” IfsHas BeensMadeRomanceLiteratureSidesWiseAmountPagesStandingAccountsWineCreditFoolishSillyFirmComparisonLitAccumulationCommonplaceColumnsLurkingSilly ThingsCounsellorsDebit Author:Duff Cooper

“I just can't fathom tweeting, and I'd rather spend my time writing a book than a blog, but I rather grudgingly agreed to a Facebook page. I had a brief, intense romance with Facebook. It's weirdly addictive, but anything that time-sucking is a danger for a writer who writes as slowly as I do. Now I post only occasionally and nothing very confessional. I think I'm carbon dating myself as I speak.” ThinkingWritingBookRomanceSpeakDangerPagesDatingIntensePostsMy TimeCarbonBlogsWriting A BookFathomFacebook Page Author:Debra Dean
“There is an energy, a romance in writing the first novel that can never be duplicated again.

“I think romance is friendship and attraction sort of meeting together and that does influence what I'm writing a lot. I try to establish the attraction, obviously, but I also think it's important to show the characters having actual conversations about things other than their feelings for each other - and to develop their friendship on the page.” ThinkingWritingTryingDoeImportantCharacterShowsFeelingsTogetherRomanceInfluenceConversationPagesMeetingsAttraction Author:Veronica Roth
“Perhaps, after all, romance did not come into one’s life with pomp and blare, like a gay knight riding down; perhaps it crept to one’s side like an old friend through quiet ways; perhaps it revealed itself in seeming prose, until some sudden shaft of illumination flung athwart its pages betrayed the rhythm and the music, perhaps . . . perhaps . . . love unfolded naturally out of a beautiful friendship, as a golden-hearted rose slipping from its green sheath.” WayLoveBeautifulRomanceSidesGayQuietPagesGreenRoseGoldenRhythmProseRidingBetrayedKnightsHeartedIlluminationOld FriendsSeemingSlippingMost RomanticBeautiful FriendshipPerhaps Love Book:CHRISTMAS & NEW YEAR™S TALES (Holiday Classics Series): Including Anne Shirley Series Source: CHRISTMAS & NEW YEAR™S TALES (Holiday Classics Series): Including Anne Shirley Series
