We know the truth, not only by the reason, but by the heart."

*Romantics (realistic and idealistic) tend to exalt emotion over reason and senses over intellect. They revere Nature, are self-examining and admire exceptional, noble, heroic figures. They view the artist as a supremely individual creator and emphasize the importance of intuition in scientific discovery and of imagination as a gateway to transcendent experience and spiritual truths. They have a predilection for the remote, the exotic, the mysterious and long for the sublime. They often question social convention, political and religious authority, and are as attracted to melancholy as to joy.
