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.

Trust your instincts: they tend to see you right. By listening to them, at least you can sleep at night.

Sophie Ellis-Bextor

The intense happiness of our union is derived in a high degree from the perfect freedom with which we each follow and declare our own impressions.

George Eliot

I travel a lot to promote the perfumes and to do the commercials.

Gabriela Sabatini

What do we want with this vast, worthless area? This region of savages and wild beasts, of deserts of shifting sands and whirlwinds of dust, of cactus and prairie dogs? To what use could we ever hope to put these great deserts, or those endless mountain ranges, impenetrable and covered to their very base with eternal snow? What can we ever hope to do with the western coast, a coast of three thousand miles, rock-bound, cheerless, uninviting, and not a harbor on it? What use have we for this country?

Daniel Webster

I love my gay male friends, but when I was a little girl, I always used to wish that I would be constantly surrounded by gorgeous guys, and I am, and I should have been more specific.

Margaret Cho

If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice.

Neil Peart

Chop your own wood, and it will warm you twice.

Henry Ford

Love is like nothing else on this earth, but only when it is shared with someone wonderful like you.

Mandy Moore

War never takes a wicked man by chance, the good man always.

Sophocles

You must go after your wish. As soon as you start to pursue a dream, your life wakes up and everything has meaning.

Barbara Sher

Education enables people and societies to be what they can be.

Bill Richardson

How we glow over these novels of passion, when the story is told with any spark of truth and nature! And what fastens attention, in the intercourse of life, like any passage betraying affection between two parties? Perhaps we never saw them before and never shall meet them again. But we see them exchange a glance or betray a deep emotion, and we are no longer strangers. We understand them and take the warmest interest in the development of the romance. All mankind love a lover.

Ralph Waldo Emerson, from Love E
