In a new survey by TV channel Drama, 2,000 women in Britain were asked to vote for their favourite romantic line used by a character.
It's perhaps not surprising to discover that the classics – such as Pride and Prejudice, Wuthering Heights and Far From The Madding Crowd made the final 10, but there were also more modern declarations of love which featured, from Titanic and Love Actually.
Topping the list was, "My heart is, and always will be, yours", from the 1995 adaptation of Jane Austen's Sense And Sensibility. In the movie, Edward Ferrars – played by Hugh Grant – utters the line to Elinor Dashwood, played by Emma Thompson. The romantic confession securing 16% of the final vote.
This was closely followed by a line from Dirty Dancing. With 14% of the vote, participants felt Jennifer Grey's line to Patrick Swayze was incredibly romantic – "I'm scared of what I saw, I'm scared of what I did, of who I am, and most of all I'm scared of walking out of this room and never feeling the rest of my whole life the way I feel when I'm with you."
According to the poll, the top 10 most romantic quotes in literature, film and TV are:
1. "My heart is, and always will be, yours." – Sense And Sensibility (16%)
2. "I'm scared of what I saw, I'm scared of what I did, of who I am, and most of all I'm scared of walking out of this room and never feeling the rest of my whole life the way I feel when I'm with you." – Dirty Dancing (14%)
3. "Winning that ticket, Rose, was the best thing that ever happened to me... It brought me to you. And I'm thankful for that, Rose. I'm thankful. You must do me this honour, Rose. Promise me you'll survive." – Titanic (11%)
4. "When you realise you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible." – When Harry Met Sally (11%)
5. "Whatever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same." – Wuthering Heights (10%)
6. "I'm just a girl, standing in front of a boy, asking him to love her." – Notting Hill (10%)
7. "I love you. I really love you." "Ditto." – Ghost (9%)
8. "And at home by the fire, whenever you look up there I shall be. And whenever I look up, there will be you." – Far From The Madding Crowd (8%)
9. "But for now, let me say without hope or agenda to me, you are perfect, and my wasted heart will love you..." – Love Actually (8%)
10. "In vain I have struggled. It will not do. My feelings will not be repressed. You must allow me to tell you how ardently I admire and love you." – Pride and Prejudice (7%)
The list was created as the Drama channel launches its Leading Man Weekend for Valentine's Day.
