"New York has got this sort of wonderful romantic idea of the South." ― Josh Lucas Topic(s): Romantic More From Josh Lucas "It’s funny, but we were living on this small island off the coast of Charleston, South Carolina when I was 9." "I visited those friends who’d just had a baby, and she was washing dishes and he was cleaning the house, and I burst with happiness. And in their minds, they were in this terrible domestic rut." "This fear of death infused me with the desire to live, and to live harder." More In Romantic "The Southern whites are in many respects a great people. Looked at from a certain point of view, they are picturesque. If one will put oneself in a romantic frame of mind, one can admire their notions of chivalry and bravery and justice."― James Weldon Johnson "It seemed romantic but also tragic – people would be winning but then lose it all, or crash but fight on, break bones but get back on their bikes and try to finish. Just getting to the end was seen as an achievement in itself."― David Millar "I’m really a romantic at heart."― Christopher Atkins
