What are some of the most romantic quotes from songs, books, films, or television shows? When you think of romance do you think of Eric Segal’s Love Story and the famous quote, “Love means never having to say you’re sorry,”? Ryan O’Neal who said the famous line admits it’s terrible advice and his costar Ali McGraw had this to say, “It’s a crock.” I agree, but that doesn’t mean other lines don’t make me go weak in the knees and get a little misty. Can you guess where each of these quotes comes from and who said it to whom (characters and actors for films or TV shows, characters and author for books, or singer/songwriter for songs)? Good luck!
