I remember all the quotes mentioned, smile and nod, but none come to my mind. So glad you've migrated from YA/teen to romance. Writing romance is the greatest.

My younger daughter says I should write books for pre-teens (she's twelve), but that's a tough one. No life experience to create emotional depth.<br /><br />Great getting to know you better, Chris!

He says something about the crocodile dying in his arms and she says, "If I were to die, that's where I'd want to be." It's been a long time since I've seen it but it went something like that. I know it's not a classic like Casablanca, but what can I say? A movie with a romance novelist as the heroine works for me. :)Eden Elgabrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05489201169942142789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9023937099212820339.post-33481328028678838312011-08-04T09:45:21.454-04:002011-08-04T09:45:21.454-04:00I've actually never watched Casablanca all the...I've actually never watched Casablanca all the way through.

That's wonderful.<br /><br />My quote, ironically, is also from Casablanca.

"If that...Love movie lines!!<br />Love Casablanca- <br />"If that plane leaves the ground and you're not on it, you'll regret it. Maybe not today. Maybe not tomorrow. But soon and for the rest of your life." Just pulls on my heart strings. Aspire to write a story like Casablance.<br /><br />But have to say, my all time favorite comes from Gone with the Wind.<br />"Frankly, Scarlett, I don't give a damn."<br />Did you know that line isn't in the book? My all time favorite book.Colleen Connallyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12195931651391347529noreply@blogger.com
