Again, I think we're mixing up the points of being a hopeless romantic as opposed to just thinking something is sweet. When you constantly see past the faults of something and solely concentrate on the romance aspects of it, then I think you're a hopeless romantic. Either that or you're not thinking with both halves of your brain [that is not intended as an insult to anyone, as I am grouping myself in said group as well].
Cheat your landlord if you can and must, but do not try to shortchange the Muse. It cannot be done. You can’t fake quality any more than you can fake a good meal. — William S. Burroughs
