Romance

"Being friends is different from being lovers. It’s a sea change."

"Every woman feels. It just takes the right man to make things combust."

"If you want to impress a lady, respect her, because respect is an impressive act itself"

"But trust me, men are never worth it. Behind every great man is a woman who gave up on greatness and tied herself into an apron. Romance is for saps, Abbie. You’re sharp and you’ve got pluck. Don’t waste it."

"Jane, will you marry me"Yes sir."A poor blind man, whom you will have to lead about by the hand"Yes, sir."A crippled man, twenty years older older than you, whom you will have to wait on"Yes, sir."Truly, Jane"Most truly, sir."

"Men know that most women want to have an emotional connection with someone before they sleep with them. Men know that a lot of women think it's romantic to be friends first, and then the friendship blossoms into a relationship. Men know that they have to jump through all these hoops first, before they can get laid. And that's really all romance and courtship is to a man: hoops he has to jump through to get laid."

"He noticed that he felt calmer now she was here, still in that grey dress with her dowdy hat, the air around her redolent with orchid oil. Perhaps all women in England had this effect. Perhaps they all smelled of flowers and exuded a calm and measured purpose. He couldn’t remember."

"She was shocked when she followed her aunt and cousin down into the city proper. The streets were crawling with people, all hurrying to and fro, mindless of one another. They brushed by with barely even a glance, stepping down into the busy roads between horse drawn buses and draymen’s carts with such confidence, seemingly oblivious that they could be run down at any moment. Children dodged in and out amongst them, ragamuffins all, some barefoot."

"If there's one thing I know about women, it's that they have vaginas."

"It has been said that Shakespeare, the great delineator of human character, has failed in distinguishing his principal women—and that such as he meant to be amiable are all equally gentle and good. How difficult then it is for a novelist to give to one of his heroines any very marked feature which shall not disfigure her! Too much reason and self-command destroy the interest we take in her distresses. It has been observed, that Clarissa is so equal to every trial as to diminish our pity. Other virtues than gentleness, pity, filial obedience, or faithful attachment, hardly belong to the sex."

"He needed a stiff drink. With a side of straightjacket."

"They may not know each other to say it, but it was never hidden. How much ever they hated each other, fate ties them together."

"We are hell different but vanity keeps us stuck."

"You once said you might not mind being by the president’s side,” he says. My libido goes crazy under that smile. His words husky, seducing me. The proximity of his mouth to my earlobe making my heart go haywire.“That was before,” I whisper worriedly. He captures my gaze with his powerful one. “Before you fell in love with me, or after?"

"You’re . . . their absolute fantasy. Of course I’m jealous. You’re their fantasy and mine."

"Ladies and gentlemen, the President of the United States . . ."

"She is the one relentless, constant thought in my head and tug in my damn chest. The only she that has ever existed in my life."

"I am in love with the first lady of the United States. At the moment, a dozen vans from District florists are pulling up at the White House, and the staffers are helping me fill up her room. I’m going to ask her to marry me. Today."

"He’s the president now, but he’s still Matt. My first crush, my first love. And I know that after Matt, I’ll never want or love another man again."

"I want to marry this girl. I want to marry her now."
