“I think romance basically starts with respect. And new romance always starts with respect.”
Bill Murray (1950) American actor and comedian
Interview with Rebecca Murray http://romanticmovies.about.com/cs/lostintranslation/a/lostbillint.htm <br class="br">Context: I think romance basically starts with respect. And new romance always starts with respect. I think I have some romantic friendships. Like the song “Love the One You’re With”; there is something to that. It’s not just make love to whomever you’re with, it’s just love whomever you’re with. And love can be seeing that here we are and there’s this world here. If I go to my room and I watch TV, I didn’t really live. If I stay in my hotel room and watch TV, I didn’t live today.

“Romance is the opiate of the dissatisfied”
Susan Howatch book The Wheel of Fortune
The Wheel of Fortune (1984), Part 1: Robert
Context: Romance is the opiate of the dissatisfied, it anaesthesises them from the pain of their disordered second-rate lives [... ] If romance is the opiate of the dissatisfied then surely nostalgia is the opiate of the disillusioned, for those who see all their dreams come true and find themselves living in a nightmare.
