Romance Quote by T. Rafael Cimino — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“Most don't deserve your tears... and the ones that do will never make you cry.”

“... you’ll have to fall in love at least once in your life, or Paris has failed to rub off on you.”

“how is it that”

“I no longer possessed the luxury of falling in love. If something should happen to Papa, I would lose the legacy and be left in poverty.”

“For this was the round of love: fear which leads on desire, tenderness and fury, and that brutal anguish which triumphantly follows pleasure.”

“In the case of Michel Angelo we have an artist who with brush and chisel portrayed literally thousands of human forms; but with this peculiarity, that while scores and scores of his male figures are obviously suffused and inspired by a romantic sentiment, there is hardly one of his female figures that is so,—the latter being mostly representative of woman in her part as mother, or sufferer, or prophetess or poetess, or in old age, or in any aspect of strength or tenderness, except that which associates itself especially with romantic love. Yet the cleanliness and dignity of Michel Angelo's male figures are incontestable, and bear striking witness to that nobility of the sentiment in him, which we have already seen illustrated in his sonnets.”
