  I'm a romantic—a sentimental person thinks things will last—a romantic person hopes against hope that they won't.
 
(F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896-1940), U.S. author. Amory Blaine, in This Side of Paradise, bk. 2, ch. 1 (1920).)

  Mon Dieu, hear the poet's prayer.
The romantic should be here.
The romantic should be there.
It ought to be everywhere.
But the romantic must never remain.
Mon Dieu, and must never again return.

 
(Wallace Stevens (1879-1955), U.S. poet. "Sailing After Lunch.")
More quotations from: Wallace Stevens

  My mind no longer has romantic abysses, but has become shallow, with many little gaps and cracks.
