"Satan, really, is the romantic youth of Jesus re-appearing for a moment." ― James Joyce Topic(s): Romantic More From James Joyce "Poetry, even when apparently most fantastic, is always a revolt against artifice, a revolt, in a sense, against actuality." "Love between man and man is impossible because there must not be sexual intercourse and friendship between man and woman is impossible because there must be sexual intercourse." "The actions of men are the best interpreters of their thoughts." More In Romantic "The compensation of a very early success is a conviction that life is a romantic matter. In the best sense one stays young."― F. Scott Fitzgerald "I think I have an inner confidence that my tastes are pretty simple, that what I find funny finds a wide audience. I’m not particularly intellectual or clever or minority-focused in my creative instincts. And I’m certainly not aware of suppressing more sophisticated ambitions."― Rowan Atkinson "Classical, Romantic, and Baroque music, that’s what I really like."― Joan Armatrading
