I think a lot of romanticizing has gone on with the women's movement.

I think that men know how to romance a woman and most do it well at least for a time otherwise women wouldn't marry them. The problem is that most of them begin to rest on their laurels.

It was my duty to shoot the enemy and I don't regret it. My regrets are for the people I couldn't save: Marines soldiers buddies. I'm not naive and I don't romanticize war. The worst moments of my life have come as a SEAL. But I can stand before God with a clear conscience about doing my job.

She doesn't understand the concept of Roman numerals. She thought we just fought in world war eleven.

There is so much temptation to hold on to my career even more now. To try to micromanage and dictate every little aspect. But that's not how I want to do things anymore. I'm thinking about how can I trust God more. How can I surrender more? How can I bring him more glory? It's a fight. But it's one I'm going to keep fighting.

For me modern technology has ruined romance and movies - nobody can run to the airplane gate anymore.

Roman civilization had achieved within the bounds of its technology relatively as great a mastery of time and space as we have achieved today.

The Roman legions were formed in the first instance of citizen soldiers who yet had been made to submit to a rigid discipline and to feel that in that submission lay their strength.

I long for the days when athletes were revered. I want to see the romance return to sports to see people enjoy the game purely for the game and the players.

The American people are sheep. They're comfortable rich working. It's like the Romans they're happy with bread and their spectator sports. The Super Bowl means more to them than any right.

I am as frustrated with society as a pyromaniac in a petrified forest.

My fiction is reviewed by the mainstream press by science fiction periodicals romance magazines small press publications and various other journals including some usually devoted to archaeological and other science material.

Modern science then so far from being an enemy of romance is seen on every hand to be its sympathetic and resourceful friend its swift and irresistible helper in its serious need and an indulgent minister to its lighter fancies.

Science is not only a disciple of reason but also one of romance and passion.

Romance should never begin with sentiment. It should begin with science and end with a settlement.

I know that some endeavor to throw the mantle of romance over the subject and treat woman like some ideal existence not liable to the ills of life. Let those deal in fancy who have nothing better to deal in we have to do with sober sad realities with stubborn facts.

I want to do all kinds of things. I want to do some comedy. I'd love to do a romantic comedy and I'd love to do some period pieces with classical text. I'd love somebody to cast me as Macbeth but for a film. I just want to be all over the place.

The whole westward expansion myth is seen as romantic. But it's a joke a blot on American history.

So I'm still in my romantic stage with London I love it as a place.

Consider what a romantic expedition you are on take notes.

In our romantic groves I adored her like a divinity.

A realist in Venice would become a romantic by mere faithfulness to what he saw before him.

I think one of the downsides of the sort of obsession with romantic love and personal fulfillment is that the plain fact of the matter is that those feelings don't last for ever and so they better be replaced and reinforced by things that do.

The thing about romance and romantic movies is that they can be somewhat melodramatic. For a lot of actors there's a certain cringe factor that's involved with that.

I'm no romantic surfing California boy. I like reading writing philosophizing. Scheming. I've been doing some exploration of the inner space.

The writing career is not a romantic one. The writer's life may be colorful but his work itself is rather drab.

People say the 'Lost Generation' in a romantic sense but I think it was tragic. They were really lost.

It's harder and harder to make a well-done romantic comedy these days because the conventions have been so played out.

I'm getting a lot of uninteresting romantic lead guys that look good and fall in love sort of garbage.

I get some of my ideas from watching my three daughters but most of them come from my own memories of growing up. I can remember how romantic I was not just about love but romance in the classic sense - the romantic ideals: of honor and truth of loyalty sacrifice and fairness. Those were the elements that made a story satisfying to me.
