"I don’t ever want to be a sentimentalist. I prefer to be a realist. I’m not a romantic really." ― James Earl Jones Topic(s): Romantic More From James Earl Jones "It has to be real, and I think a lot of the problems we have as a society is because we don’t acknowledge that family is important, and it has to be people who are present, you know, and mothers and fathers, both are not present enough with children." "The arts have always been an important ingredient to the health of a nation, but we haven’t gotten there yet." "Even during the rationing period, during World War II, we didn’t have the anxiety that we’d starve, because we grew our own potatoes, you know? And our own hogs, and our own cows and stuff, you know." More In Romantic "I think I’m a romantic person, yeah."― Antonio Banderas "When I was a teenager I was a total romantic escapist. My world was books."― Colin Wilson "I’m no romantic, surfing, California boy. I like reading, writing, philosophizing. Scheming. I’ve been doing some exploration of the inner space."― Henry Hopper
