Romance Quote by Michael Cunningham — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“Dead, we are revealed in our true dimensions, and they are surprisingly modest.”

“One always has a better book in one's mind than one can manage to get onto paper.”

“Man," he said, "I'm not afraid of graveyards. The dead are just, you know, people who wanted the same things you and I want.”

“We live our lives, do whatever we do, and then we sleep. It's as simple and ordinary as that. A few jump out windows, or drown themselves, or take pills; more die by accident; and most of us are slowly devoured by some disease, or, if we're very fortunate, by time itself. There's just this for consolation: an hour here or there when our lives seem, against all odds & expectations, to burst open & give us everything we've ever imagined, though everyone but children (and perhaps even they) know these hours will inevitably be followed by others, far darker and more difficult. Still, we cherish the city, the morning, we hope, more than anything for more. Heaven only knows why we love it so.”

“It's the solitude that slays you. Maybe because you'd expected ruin to arrive in a grander and more romantic form.”

“What really happened doesn't matter. What matters is how we agree to remember it.”

“It's taken me all this time, all this loss, to realize what really matters is now.”

“A woman with romance in her life lived as grandly as a queen, because her heart was treasured.”

“Nakayanan n'yang bumangon, hindi ko pagdududahan ang kakayahan n'yang lumipad.”

“I'm done waiting. Done doing things the easy way and letting things happen as they will.”

“Anne, look here. Can’t we be good friends?”
