Romance Quote by Benjamin Disraeli — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“Time is precious, but truth is more precious than time.”

“Through perseverance many people win success out of what seemed destined to be certain failure.”

“The secret of success is constancy to purpose.”

“But what minutes! Count them by sensation, and not by calendars, and each moment is a day.”

“Action may not always bring happiness; but there is no happiness without action.”

“We make our own fortunes and we call them fate.”

“I don't need the aid of a clever man to teach me how to live. I can find it out for myself.”

“What defines a romance? All scholars seem to converge on a single point: it is a story that must have a happy ending. And why is that? I say, it is because a romance is a belief in the impossible: that anything ends happily. For the only true end is death - and in this way, is romance not a rebuke of mortality? When love is here, I am not. When love is not, I am gone. Perhaps a romance is a story with no end at all; where the end is but a wardrobe with a false back, leading to stranger and more merciful words.”

“I would stay away from him and leave him to go his own road where there would be other women, countless other women, who would probably give him as much physical pleasure as he had had with me. I wouldn’t care, or at least I told myself that I wouldn’t care, because none of them would ever own him—own any larger piece of him than I now did.”

“I force my eyes upward and look at Mia for the first time. She's still beautiful. Not in an obvious Vanessa LeGrande or Bryn Shraeder kind of way. In a quiet way that's always been devastating to me. Her hair, long and dark, is down now, swimming damply against her bare shoulders, which are still milky white and covered with the constellation of freckles that I used to kiss. The scar on her left shoulder, the one that used to be an angry red weld is silvery pink now. Almost like the latest rage in tattoo accessories. Almost pretty.”
