"Satan, really, is the romantic youth of Jesus re-appearing for a moment." ― James Joyce Topic(s): Romantic More From James Joyce "Irresponsibility is part of the pleasure of all art; it is the part the schools cannot recognize." "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." More In Romantic "I’m sick of playing romantic leads."― John Corbett "And I don’t believe that children are innocent. In fact, no one seriously believes that. Just go to a playground and watch the kids playing in the sandbox! The romantic notion of the sweet child is simply the parents projecting their own wishes."― Michael Haneke "Becoming a mother cannot help but change things. An author’s life is reflected in their writing, whether they want it to be or not, and parenthood is one of the biggest life changes there is."― Sarah Zettel
