Love Quotes

“I'm selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best.”

“You know you're in love when you can't fall asleep because reality is finally better than your dreams.”

“Only once in your life, I truly believe, you find someone who can completely turn your world around. You tell them things that you’ve never shared with another soul and they absorb everything you say and actually want to hear more. You share hopes for the future, dreams that will never come true, goals that were never achieved and the many disappointments life has thrown at you. When something wonderful happens, you can’t wait to tell them about it, knowing they will share in your excitement. They are not embarrassed to cry with you when you are hurting or laugh with you when you make a fool of yourself. Never do they hurt your feelings or make you feel like you are not good enough, but rather they build you up and show you the things about yourself that make you special and even beautiful. There is never any pressure, jealousy or competition but only a quiet calmness when they are around. You can be yourself and not worry about what they will think of you because they love you for who you are. The things that seem insignificant to most people such as a note, song or walk become invaluable treasures kept safe in your heart to cherish forever. Memories of your childhood come back and are so clear and vivid it’s like being young again. Colours seem brighter and more brilliant. Laughter seems part of daily life where before it was infrequent or didn’t exist at all. A phone call or two during the day helps to get you through a long day’s work and always brings a smile to your face. In their presence, there’s no need for continuous conversation, but you find you’re quite content in just having them nearby. Things that never interested you before become fascinating because you know they are important to this person who is so special to you. You think of this person on every occasion and in everything you do. Simple things bring them to mind like a pale blue sky, gentle wind or even a storm cloud on the horizon. You open your heart knowing that there’s a chance it may be broken one day and in opening your heart, you experience a love and joy that you never dreamed possible. You find that being vulnerable is the only way to allow your heart to feel true pleasure that’s so real it scares you. You find strength in knowing you have a true friend and possibly a soul mate who will remain loyal to the end. Life seems completely different, exciting and worthwhile. Your only hope and security is in knowing that they are a part of your life.”

“I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where. I love you simply, without problems or pride: I love you in this way because I do not know any other way of loving but this, in which there is no I or you, so intimate that your hand upon my chest is my hand, so intimate that when I fall asleep your eyes close.”

“Love all, trust a few.”

“Have you ever been in love? Horrible, isn't it? It makes you so vulnerable. It opens your chest and opens your heart, and it means that someone can get inside you and mess you up.”

“Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage.”

“This life is what you make it. No matter what, you're going to mess up sometimes — that's a universal truth. The good part is you get to choose how you're going to mess up. Girls will be your friends; they'll act like it anyway. But remember, some come and some go. The ones that stay with you through everything are your true best friends — don't let them go. Sisters often make the best friends in the world. As for lovers, they'll come and go too, and most of them are going to break your heart. You can't give up because if you give up you'll never find your soulmate, that half who makes you whole. Just because you fail once doesn't mean you'll fail at everything. Keep trying. Hold on and always believe in yourself. Keep your head high, keep your chin up, and keep smiling — life has a lot to offer.”

“If you judge people, you have no time to love them.”

“There is never a time or place for true love. It happens accidentally, in a heartbeat, in a single flashing, throbbing moment.”

“Love is that condition in which the happiness of another person is essential to your own.”

“You love me. Real or not real?”

“You may not be her first, her last, or her only. She loved before and she may love again. But if she loves you now, what else matters? She's not perfect, you aren't either, and the two of you may never be perfect together; but if she can make you laugh, cause you to think twice, and admit to being human and making mistakes, hold on to her and give her the most you can. She may not be thinking about you every second of the day, but she will give you a part of her that she knows you can break: her heart. So don't hurt her, don't change her, don't analyze, and don't expect more than she can give. Smile when she makes you happy, tell her when she makes you mad, and miss her when she's not there.”

“All you need is love. But a little chocolate now and then doesn't hurt.”

“"I'm in love with you," he said quietly.”

“I am nothing special, of this I am sure. I am a common man with common thoughts and I've led a common life. There are no monuments dedicated to me and my name will soon be forgotten, but I've loved another with all my heart and soul, and to me, this has always been enough.”

“The truth is everyone is going to hurt you. You just got to find the ones worth suffering for.”

“Sometimes people are beautiful.”

“Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind; And therefore is wing'd Cupid painted blind. Nor hath love's mind of any judgment taste; Wings and no eyes figure unheedy haste: And therefore is love said to be a child, Because in choice he is so oft beguil'd.”

“Have you fallen in love with the wrong person yet?”

“You don't get to choose if you get hurt in this world, but you do have some say in who hurts you. I like my choices.”

“There is nothing I would not do for those who are really my friends. I have no notion of loving people by halves; it is not my nature.”

“Love is like the wind, you can't see it but you can feel it.”

“Not all of us can do great things, but we can do small things with great love.”

“Love never dies a natural death. It dies because we don't know how to replenish its source. It dies of blindness and errors and betrayals. It dies of illness and wounds; it dies of weariness, of witherings, of tarnishings.”

“If you live to be a hundred, I want to live to be a hundred minus one day so I never have to live without you.”

“If I had a flower for every time I thought of you, I could walk through my garden forever.”

“If you can make a woman laugh, you can make her do anything.”

“We're all a little weird. And life is a little weird. And when we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours, we join up with them and fall into mutually satisfying weirdness — and call it love, true love.”

“To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything and your heart will be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact you must give it to no one, not even an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements. Lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket, safe, dark, motionless, airless, it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable. To love is to be vulnerable.”
