In memory of Andre Braugher and his contribution to @brooklyn99, here are 50 of the best Raymond Holt quotes that prove he will always be the best police captain/genius 🤍

Last true romantic. End of thread 🌹

That’s why this new era isn’t a reinvention. It’s a continuation. Proof that he’s still choosing love in a culture that’s moving away from it.

He studies past eras (Motown, soul, funk) genres built on longing, devotion, and intention. He doesn’t sample romance, he preserves it.

Even his life choices reflect this: he avoids using scandals as marketing, protects privacy, and lets the music do the talking. Old-school romantic behavior.

While everyone else was chasing irony or detachment, Bruno Mars was slow dancing in silk shirts, singing like love is sacred.

Then there’s “That’s What I Like.” Yes it’s flashy… but notice who it’s for. Romance is still the point. Pleasure is shared, not solo.

Even “Treasure.” Admiration without possession. Desire without control. He loves loudly but never selfishly.

And “Versace on the Floor?” No flexing, no rushing. Just patience, atmosphere, and consent. Romance as an experience, not a conquest.

Look at “When I Was Your Man.” Accountability. Regret. Owning mistakes instead of villainizing the other person. How many artists do that?

With “Just the Way You Are,” he wasn’t trying to change anyone. No fixing, no games. Just I see you and you’re enough. That’s romance.

Bruno Mars isn’t just singing about love. He’s been documenting it his entire career. Here are a few examples:
