Is that a list of romantic quotes in your pocket or are you just pleased to see me?

Romantic quote: “When they ask me what I liked best, I’ll say it was you.”
Quote Notes: Use it if your lover is about to perish in the next 5 minutes. You’re not, though. Just them.. Don’t worry about trying to save them. Just use this quote to give the rest of their life some meaning. Never specify who ‘they’ refers to.
Film: City of Angels

Romantic quote: “I have crossed oceans of time to find you.”
Quote Notes: Crossing oceans of time shows a jolly firm post-Einsteinian grasp of physics. Say this to the right man or woman (and be prepared to explain exactly what you mean by it, which is the hard bit) and they will stroke your arm with fervour!
Film: Dracula

Romantic quote: “Happiness isn’t happiness without a violin-playing goat.”
Romantic quote: “I am just a girl standing in front of a boy asking him to love her.”
Quote Notes: Hooray for romantic comedies! Exchange ‘girl’ and ‘boy’ for nouns of your choice. Or indeed exchange ‘love’ for a different verb. End up with your version of “I am just a thing standing in front of a thing asking them to thing”.
Film: Notting Hill

Romantic quote: “I would rather share one lifetime with you than face all the ages of this world alone.”

Romantic quote: “Death cannot stop true love. All it can do is delay it for a while.”

Romantic quote: “When we are married, will you dance with me? I find dancing very agreeable. Why can you not say what is in your head?”

Film: The Village
