The lady who works in the grocery store at the corner of my block is called Denise, and she's one of America's great unpublished novelists. Over the years she's written forty-two romantic novels, none of which have ever reached the bookstores. I, however, have been fortunate enough to hear the plots of the last twenty-seven of these recounted in installments by the authoress herself every time I drop by the store for a jar of coffee or can of beans, and my respect for Denise's literary prowess knows no bounds. So, naturally enough, when I found myself faced with the daunting task of actually starting the book you now hold in your hands, it was Denise I turned to for advice. ~ Dave Gibbons
Romantic Novels quotes by Dave Gibbons
I rock in his arms under the stars and the blanket of night air, unwilling or unable to tear myself away. ~ Lisa Daily
Romantic Novels quotes by Lisa Daily
I thought that love at first sight was something that was only in cheesy movies and romantic novels until that moment. ~ Shannon A. Thompson
Romantic Novels quotes by Shannon A. Thompson
....one of those long, romantic novels, six hundred and fifty pages of small print, translated from French or German or Hungarian or something -- because few of the English ones have the exact feeling I mean. And you read one page of it or even one phrase of it, and then you gobble up all the rest and go about in a dream for weeks afterwards, for months afterwards -- perhaps all your life, who knows? -- surrounded by those six hundred and fifty pages, the houses, the streets, the snow, the river, the roses, the girls, the sun, the ladies' dresses and the gentlemen's voices, the old, wicked, hard-hearted women and the old, sad women, the waltz music -- everything. What is not there you put in afterwards, for it is alive, this book, and it grows in your head. 'The house I was living in when I read that book,' you think, or 'This colour reminds me of that book. ~ Jean Rhys
Romantic Novels quotes by Jean Rhys
Romantic novels, the kissing scenes, the ditching scenes have taught the youth of India more English than all the English classes in school combined. ~ Sneha Mehta
Romantic Novels quotes by Sneha Mehta
For the past six years, I've become a student on longing. I've read hundreds of books, articles, and studies on relationships, attended workshops, and sought the advice of spiritual counselors and trusted friends. And this is what I've learned: all of us long to be loved; we are searching for that perfect love - the perfect union that we read about in romantic novels or see on the silver screen. What we fail to realize is that we are human and because we are human, we are imperfect. We seek the impossible: perfect love from imperfect people. We fail to see that our longing for unconditional, perfect, or divine love can only be satiated by reunion and communion with the divine. ~ Randy Siegel
Romantic Novels quotes by Randy Siegel
She had read too many romantic novels of a dark and dreary bent to really be surprised - The Castle of Otranto was one of her favorite English reads. For all intents and purposes, she was the overwrought, terrified heroine wandering around a cursed castle at night, seeing things in the shadows, jumping at noises. Plus ~ Liz Braswell
Romantic Novels quotes by Liz Braswell
The man she wanted existed only in the romantic novels she was reading. She had met him. But he would never meet her. ~ Mary Papas
Romantic Novels quotes by Mary Papas
All romantic novels end the same way, but it's the process of getting there that provides all the enjoyment. ~ Candice Hern
Romantic Novels quotes by Candice Hern
Well, talking to me isn't going to get you any closer to dating him. At least we're going to be in a quaint, romantic place this weekend. Ask him to take a walk in the forest. Or ask him to go antiquing. Maybe he likes old furniture.' Jeremy shrugged.

Georgie gave him a doubting look. 'Yes, because there's nothing more romantic than looking at used chairs. ~ Chessela Helm
Romantic Novels quotes by Chessela Helm
There's also an immediacy to everything that has changed everybody's expectations. Now if I can't get a hold of somebody on their cell phone I'm, like, angry with them. And in my mind, all the things that I really value in terms of art, really good novels or films or comics, I know they all take a long, long time to create, and they take a lot of concentration and dedication ... and I just feel like the training for that is becoming more and more rare when people are used to seeing things like YouTube clips, and being able to acquire things instantly. ~ Adrian Tomine
Romantic Novels quotes by Adrian Tomine
Novels, says Sartre, are not life, but they owe our power upon us, as upon himself as an infant, to the fact that they are somehow like life. In life, he once remarked, 'all ways are barred and nevertheless we must act. So we try to change the world; that is, to live as if the relations between things and their potentialities were governed not by deterministic processes but by magic.' The as if of the novel consists in a similar negation of determinism, the establishment of an accepted freedom by magic. We make up aventures, invent and ascribe the significance of temporal concords to those 'privileged moments' to which we alone award their prestige, make our own human clocks tick in a clockless world. And we take a man who is by definition de trop, and create a context in which he isn't.

The novel is a lie only as our quotidian inventions are lies. The power which goes to its making--the imagination --is a function of man's inescapable freedom. This freedom, in Mary Warnock's words, 'expresses itself in his ability to see things which are not.' It is by his fiction that we know he is free. It is not surprising that Sartre as ontologist, having to describe many kinds of fictive behaviour, invents stories to do so, thus moving into a middle ground between life and novel. .... ~ Frank Kermode
Romantic Novels quotes by Frank Kermode
In my novels, there are twelve ancient 'memory tools,' all now lost. Each of the 'Reincarnationist' books revolves around a different tool. ~ M.J. Rose
Romantic Novels quotes by M.J. Rose
That's what novels are: They're amalgams of archetypes, collections of random traits one observes in other people through life, blended into fresh characters. ~ Michael Callahan
Romantic Novels quotes by Michael Callahan
I am an author! To read me is to know me. ~ Angelique St. Chase Jr.
Romantic Novels quotes by Angelique St. Chase Jr.
Most gothics are overplotted novels whose success or failure hinges on the author's ability to make you believe in the characters and partake of the mood. ~ Stephen King
Romantic Novels quotes by Stephen King
Life's already a gamble. Don't let love be one, too. ~ Max Hawthorne
Romantic Novels quotes by Max Hawthorne
You've done her a service to teach her that romantic love is largely made of illusion." [said Mina.]
"Is it?" Alessandra asked, unable to suppress a worried sigh.
Mina looked at her as if she knew exactly what Alessandra was thinking. "I said 'romantic love,' my dear
not true love."
"But how can one know," asked Alessandra, "one from the other?"
"True love," said Mina, "is something that reveals itself only with the passage of time. ~ Barbara Quick
Romantic Novels quotes by Barbara Quick
2. Adventurer: One who primarily seeks out a partner for life's adventures (and misadventures), and who doesn't feel the need for overly romantic gestures, saccharine phrases, or deep discussions about the future. May result in downplaying more serious emotions or situations in favor of "just seeing where it goes." May result in fun, fly-by-the-seat-of-your-pants relationship that keeps both partners excited and fulfilled. ~ Leah Konen
Romantic Novels quotes by Leah Konen
Romantic relationship is meant to be romantic, which means loving. If it is not any more you may ask yourself why you are still together. ~ Raphael Zernoff
Romantic Novels quotes by Raphael Zernoff
The whole world seemed to be wounded, broken, hurting. ~ Pamela Clare
Romantic Novels quotes by Pamela Clare
Death was confused. "That's senseless! I am the doorway to eternity. ~ Mary Ann D'Alto
Romantic Novels quotes by Mary Ann D'Alto
I am a tourist of the emotions, visiting only the most well-worn spots. It is romantic, that is, a distortion, to imagine whole lives from the barest observation. ~ Jean Thompson
Romantic Novels quotes by Jean Thompson
I grew up in southeastern Oklahoma on a working cattle ranch, and it was always very romantic to me: The West, the cowboy, the Western way of life. ~ Reba McEntire
Romantic Novels quotes by Reba McEntire
I'm a romantic. I like romantic movies. ~ Chris Evans
Romantic Novels quotes by Chris Evans
She'd obviously read the book many times before, and so she read flawlessly and confidently, and I could hear her smile in the reading of it, and the sound of that smile made me think that maybe I would like novels better if Alaska Young read them to me. ~ John Green
Romantic Novels quotes by John Green
It's an unusual way to write a crime novel, to have these lingering, fairly large story points, but it's something I knew I had to do if I wanted to write a sequel ... but, you know, people still have to read and enjoy this book, or it's a moot point. ~ Tod Goldberg
Romantic Novels quotes by Tod Goldberg
I'd never really considered doing young-adult novels, but one of the things that a friend pointed out to me is that I've actually had a teenage character in almost every adult novel that I've written. ~ Michelle Gagnon
Romantic Novels quotes by Michelle Gagnon
It's my contention that each book creates its own structure and its own length. I've written three or four slim books. It may be that the next novel is a big one, but I don't know. ~ Don DeLillo
Romantic Novels quotes by Don DeLillo
The root of all fears. Not being accepted by those we care about. Being rejected and isolated. It's a primal fear. As a species, we are meant to be part of a group. A community. We mistrust loners because we don't understand them. With the exception of our romanticizing the loner in movies and novels, of course. ~ Susan Mallery
Romantic Novels quotes by Susan Mallery
He has a frightening aversion to text messaging in general.
"It's a phone. It's for making calls, not for writing novels". ~ Patrick Carman
Romantic Novels quotes by Patrick Carman
What the most of the people conceive as romantic love, is just the desire and appetite sourced from their genitals. ~ M. T. Panchal
Romantic Novels quotes by M. T. Panchal
Novels are written, not wished into existence. You have to sit your ass in the chair or nothing gets done. ~ John Dufresne
Romantic Novels quotes by John Dufresne
Well, James Matthew is a name that will wear well and not fade in the washing," said Miss Cornelia. "I'm glad you didn't load him down with some highfalutin, romantic name that he'd be ashamed of when he gets to be a grandfather ... ~ L.M. Montgomery
Romantic Novels quotes by L.M. Montgomery
People used to expect literary novels to deepen the experience of living; now they are happy with any sustained display of writerly cleverness. ~ Brian Reynolds Myers
Romantic Novels quotes by Brian Reynolds Myers
Precision is easier to master than artful vagueness, especially now when, thanks to Google, novels are fact-heavy. We no longer refer to "flowers" but to particular varieties of roses. The whole valuable distinction between foreground (precise) and background (blurred) has been lost, and now everything is crowding toward the viewer, clamoring for attention. ~ Edmund White
Romantic Novels quotes by Edmund White
In freeing myself from the romantic dream of finding another man to come along and rescue me, I learned that no one can rescue me except myself. ~ Erica Jong
Romantic Novels quotes by Erica Jong
And why is it all men think
everything a woman writes is trivial or trashy-or just plain silly
drivel? Don't men have romantic notions? Don't men dream of finding
the perfect love? ~ V.C. Andrews
Romantic Novels quotes by V.C. Andrews
...any schmoozer can light a candle. ~ Che Elias
Romantic Novels quotes by Che Elias
Adventure is just a romantic name for trouble. It sounds swell when you write about it, but it's hell when you meet it face to face in a dark and lonely place. ~ Louis L'Amour
Romantic Novels quotes by Louis L'Amour
