The requirements of romantic love are difficult to satisfy in the back seat of a Dodge Dart.

Perhaps love is only the highest symbol of friendship, as all other things seem symbols of love.
I could feel the warmth of his presence as if a soft blanket had been wrapped around my soul, around my heart. It held me and protected me. It sheltered me and I knew I wasn't alone anymore.
What of soul was left, I wonder, when the kissing had to stop?
A kiss, when all is said, what is it? A rosy dot placed on the 'I' in loving; Tis a secret told to the mouth instead of to the ear.
Time and time again when I talk to individuals about approaching love with will and intentionality, I hear the fear expressed that this will bring an end to romance. This is simply not so. Approaching romantic love from foundation of care, knowledge, and respect actually intensifies romance
Romantic love can be a lot of crap, though, let me tell you. And it can hurt you.
I have always been suspicious of romantic love. It looks too much like a narcissism shared by two.
Romantic love is mental illness. But it's a pleasurable one.
When we think of all the things we want to do with our other half the answer should be simple; we should want to do absolutely everything with them. We should want to experience everything, feel everything, see everything with no one but them by our sides.

In France, you have 900 years of romantic love going back to the troubadours and minstrels that wrote stories of Lancelot and Guinevere. You have gallantry at the highest level.
Any kind of novelty or excitement drives up dopamine in the brain, and dopamine is associated with romantic love.
I love romantic comedies. I love romantic movies. I'm kind of a sucker for them, and, sort of end up crying at the end of them all, like a child.
The vampire was a complete change from the usual romantic characters I was playing, but it was a success.
I love romantic comedies. I like to watch them and I like to be in them. It's something that's increasingly difficult to find that spark of originality that makes if different than the ones that come before.
That's what I like about film-it can be bizarre, classic, normal, romantic. Cinema is to me the most versatile thing.
I will follow you to the ends of the world.
Teach not thy lip such scorn, for it was made For kissing, lady, not for such contempt.
But the you who you are tonight is the same you I was in love with yesterday, the same you I’ll be in love with tomorrow.
