1. Marilyn Monroe I absolutely love this quote because it’s so true. If something as simple as a kiss on the forehead can thrill you then you know you’re in love with someone pretty special. I know from experience that there are few feelings better than the man you love kissing you in such a caring way – it makes you feel incredibly special.
2. Friends If you’re familiar with the TV show Friends then you’ll hopefully be familiar with this quote from the one and only Phoebe Buffay. If not, basically what she’s trying to say is that true lovers are like lobsters, a species who still hold claws even when they’re old and have loved each other even after years and years.

This is what love really is, isn’t it? It’s about seeing someone as though they are everything because in a sense, to you, they are. A couple in love should look at each other as though there’s nothing else in the world, as though nothing is more important than their love.
4. Henry Van Dyke
Okay, so this quote isn’t all about love but the concept is in there. I simply love this quote because it’s a reminder of what’s important in life and why we’re here. Looking up at the stars reminds us how small we really are and of all the possibilities, in love and the rest of our lives, that are out there.
5. A. A. Milne

Winnie the Pooh sure has some great wisdom! I don’t know about you, but this quote describes exactly how I feel when I’m with my fiancee. Every day with him is special, no matter what we’re doing or where we are, and ever day matters. Sure, this quote is originally about friendship but I think it applies in any case really.
6. Pocahontas
This is the first of many gems from good old Disney. It pretty much tells us that there is no life without love – it’s pointless in a sense. Sometimes you’re better off living one day filled with immense happiness than living forever without ever meeting that one special someone.
7. Jason Maraz
Love isn’t always a straight forward and fairytale like as we hope. There are inevitably going to be ups and downs, fought patches, days where the two of you just want to scream at each other. What Jason Maraz is telling us how ever is the importance of holding on. It doesn’t matter that there will be hard times, what matters is how you cope with them and that you keep your faith in your partner and your life together. Never give up on each other, no matter what.

Okay, so this one’s a little silly but where would we be without a little silliness, I ask you? To the outward world you and your partner may well seem like the perfect, professional couple but I’m betting that not so far below the surface you’re actually just two big kids. In my opinion, love is in many ways a childish need to love and hold onto something after all. Sometimes we need to express that. This quote does exactly that. It’s silly, it’s weird, and yet it says everything that could possibly ever need saying.
9. Notting Hill
Even thinking about this memorable scene in the one and only Notting Hill has me ready to swoon. When our lead Julia Roberts, the most famous actress in the world, falls for Daniel Cleaver, just a simple man in the street, it’s like a fairy tale come true. Well, almost. There’s a few of those bumps in the road that I mentioned. But ultimately it all comes down to this scene where she begs him to remember that at the end of the day she’s not a famous actress, she’s not a celebrity, she’s just a girl, standing in front of a boy, asking him to love her. How sweet!
10. J. M. Barrie
This one’s taken from the book Peter Pan by J. M. Barrie before Disney turned it into a hit film. This quote really does make love seem like a fairytale. It’s a reminder that sometimes we just need to let go and leave reality behind. Sometimes we just need to remember what is really important. We need not stress over trivial, insignificant things like work or money, so long as we have someone to love us we’re set.
11. Anna Karenina
What this quote is saying is pretty much that no matter where you are, whether you’re trying to look at your partner or not, they’re always there. They’re a part of your life. You might try to shy away from that but in the end they’re always there.
12. Bright Eyes
No doubt we’ve all dreamt of that special someone at least once, probably numerous times. Quite often we’ll probably even find ourselves day dreaming of them too. The point is, it doesn’t matter how far away they are, if you can’t be together for a time, because they’ll always be with you in your heart and in your mind. Distance only makes the heart grow fonder after all.
13. Edgar Allen Poe
How do you describe love? Everyone’s tried and everyone has their own opinion, a few of them are even in this article. Maybe it’s all of them, maybe it’s none of them, maybe it’s different for everyone. For me that’s what this quote is about. Love is about feeling. How you describe that is irrelevant.
14. The Help
Taken from the hit book and film The Help, this quote covers why we love. Why do we love the people we do? What is it about them that makes them so irresistible to us?
15. Marron 5
I’ve often wondered if this window and this door was metaphorical or not, every time I hear this song I can’t help but wonder. Anyway, the point is, there’s someone waiting to make you feel beautiful and loved. Someone wants to be invited into your life. You should let them.
16. Romans 5:8
This quote is simply explained – if someone can love you even at your darkest or in your weakest moment then they’re the one you should want to keep. It’s also how you should love them back.
17. Taylor Swift
Basically, the pop princess is telling us that you should let love guide you. Don’t force it or fall into it or you might scare it away. Be gentle. Be wise. Love.
18. Anonymous
Okay, so this is another silly one but don’t tell me you’ve never felt like this. Sometimes it’s possible to love people so much the only way to show them in that moment seems physical. It’s like you can’t hold them tight enough or long enough. If only you had an extra six arms!
19. The Lumineers
I LOVE this song! Ho!Hey! is just so beautiful, go gentle, so meaningful. It makes me want to tell everyone I know how much I love them and why, it makes me feel grateful for the life I’ve got, and it makes me want to hug my other half and never let him go. This one line says it all when it comes to love really.
20. Titanic
Sometimes love is about saving each other, it’s about helping the other out from a dark place and loving them until they feel whole again. This is something Kate Winslet expresses beautifully in her role as Rose in Titanic. Jack (Leonardo Di Caprio) saved her. Without him I imagine her fate upon the Titanic may have been very different. Meeting someone specially changed us, it alters our entire lives, but in the best way possible.
21. Christina Perry
A Thousand Years may be known for being one of the theme songs to the Twilight movies but to me it’s know for this line right here. We needn’t be afraid of love because it’s all there ever was and all there ever will be. Despite the fact we’ve all probably had relationships before we met the one none of them mattered. Deep down it’s only ever bee them, even if we never knew it until the moment they walked into our lives.
22. J. M. Barrie
Here’s another one from author J. M. Barrie and his his children’s book Peter Pan. This to me is a big part of what love is. It’s about having someone to come home to, knowing someone loves you and is there for you no matter what, knowing you’re there for someone else, and knowing that no amount of time can change that.
23. One Tree Hill
Coming from someone who got engaged after only knowing the guy for eight months, this quote is infinitely true. Who’s to say what age you should fall in love? Who’s to say how long you have to be together to know it’s true love? Who’s to say anything when it comes to you and your relationship? As far as I’m concerned that’s your business so make your own choices.
24. NJ
Sometimes love is simply that peaceful feeling of curling up and laying your head on his chest with his arms around you. Sometimes no sound is better than that of his heart and his soft breathing.
25. Ralph Waldo Emerson
Who’s to say we’re not forever destined to meet the one? Maybe it is chance but to be honest I don’t buy that. Some people are always destined to meet. Or else, how is it that they find each other amongst seven billion others when all the odds are against them. Falling in love in the first place beats all the odds but meeting the one is something else entirely.
26. 10 Things I Hate About You
We might hate all the little things our partner does wrong, all the thins they do to annoy us and hurt us, but when it comes down to them we love them and we’d never be without them. That in itself can be frustrating but I guess that’s what love is. Love is an odd love hate relationship.
27. Jason Miraz
Here’s another line from the song I Won’t Give Up by Jason Miraz. It reminds us that no relationship is perfect and that we go into them with our eyes shut and knowing virtually nothing. The important thing is that we learn and we overcome the struggle because in the end your chance at happiness and you as a couple are worth it.

When it comes to deciding who should be in your life then this is all your really need to ask yourself. If it’s the person beside you right now then good, if not, or if they’re a little fuzzy, then maybe you’ve got some thinking to do. Remember, you don’t have to give up on those dreams just because you have a boyfriend either. Live for you.
29. The Notebook
Written by Nicholas Sparks, the Notebook is one of my all time favourite books and all time favourite films. It’s just so devastatingly romantic, sweet, and is filled with lessons about love. Here Noah reminds us that no relationship is perfect and it’s far from easy but so long as you love each other it’s worth it. It’s forever.
30. Joanne Woodward
When the years pass, old age creeps up on you, people come and go from your life, and the money drains, it’s love that remains. In the end, all that matters is having someone who makes you laugh, someone who makes you feel happy and good about yourself. It’s not the looks that matters, it’s the heart.
31. Roald Dhal
All you need to look attractive to your partner isn’t a good body but a nice smile. If you’re happy it will show outwardly, lighting you up and making you beautiful. I think love is about striving to make each other happy so that you can always see the beauty in each other and in your relationship.
32. Cinderella
Why do we fall in love? Why do we go to all the hassle and risk all the heartbreak? It’s for exactly the reason Cinderella teaches us – it’s to make life simply divine.
33. Dave Matthews
When you’re in love it doesn’t matter where you go or what you do so long as you’re with your partner. Suddenly home isn’t a place, it’s a person. Wherever they go you’ll be happy, you’ll be safe, and you’ll be loved. As soon as you’ve found someone who can make you feel like that, you’re gold.
34. A. A. Milne
If for some reason you can’t be with the one you love any more, be it because they left or because they were taken too early, simply remember the words of good old Winnie The Pooh. So long as we have our cherished memories that we can look back on we’ll be rich.
35. Passenger
Let Her Go was the song that saw Passenger storm into the charts, not least of all because if it’s simplicity and utter beauty. Going back to what I was saying about missing people, it’s not always as easy as simply remembering them however. Sometimes their absence leaves a dark hole inside of you, an emptiness that can all too often be irreplaceable.
36.Tagled
It’s no secret that I absolutely love the film Tangled. The reason? Well, there are lots but in this instance I’ll write it off the the beautiful love story within it. This quote sums up just how quickly your life can change when you meet the one, how just seeing them alters your perception of everything. In just an instant your entire world can change.
37. George Sand
They say it’s the simple things in life that matters, something which George Sand reminds us of. All other happinesses are fleeting and hollow. Love however is forever. It’s meaningful. It’s life.
38. Tangled
So we’re back to Tangled, and why not? It’s a beautiful movie! Again this quote shows how quickly falling in love can change your perception of life as our hero and heroine admit their feelings. I will say this still doesn’t go with this quote, I just didn’t want to reveal any spoilers!
39. Twilight
What would an article about love be without our good old Edward and Bella. I’ll admit, there are plenty of cheesy parts throughout the books and films but with this quote Twilight hit the nail right on the head. When it comes to love, time is never long enough. You always want just a moment more, another word, another kiss…
40. Titanic
Back to Titanic, here Rose reminds us that when it comes to love we’re in this together. As a couple you’re a pair, you’re a team, and where one of you goes the other should follow. Your battles are to be shared, your burdens and your hardships too. But that also means that you share in all the good stuff, all the laughs and happy memories, too.
41. Anonymous
If you’re truly in love, you should be able to say this to your partner (or in my opinion at least!). For me it’s entirely true. My fiancee is my best friend, he’s my lover, my teammate, my everything. I never knew it was possible before I met him but suddenly everything I’d experienced before he came along was irrelevant. I hadn’t really been feeling until he walked into my life.
42. Lao Tzu
This to me sums up what love does for us. And it’s true, so very, very true. It takes a lot to let another person love you and in so many more ways it takes a whole lot more to let yourself love them back. Love is about letting go of your fear, being strong, and letting go.
43. Christopher Poindexter
This is what love should be! It should be feeling completely at ease with your other half and making them feel the same. It doesn’t matter that neither of you are perfect, when you’re together you should forget that and simply be. Enjoy each other’s company and relax.
44. 50 Shades Trilogy
It’s odd but one of the nicest feelings in a relationship is watching the other sleep. It’s odd just looking at them and knowing you’re in love with them, finding nothing more interesting that the slow rise and fall of their chest and the way their lips part. It’s peaceful, soul-searching love.
45.Starra Neely Blade
I’ve said it before and I’ll say again, so long as you’ve got love in your life then you don’t need much else. Love is simple yet love is everything. The act of loving someone is great, the feeling of knowing they love you back is freeing, fulfilling, and ultimately everything.
46.Marilyn Monroe
This is completely true when it comes to love and everything else. It’s a lesson girls should learn and guys should remember. You’ll never be happy until you learn this simple lesson. If your partner doesn’t need you then I’m sorry to say they’re likely not the one for you. Be wanted. Be needed. Be loved.
47. Bambi
I like this purely because it is so simple. Love is music, love is soothing, love never ends. Remember that the next time you feel down.
48. A Cinderella Story
To those of you too scared to let yourself open up to love or even life then I suggest you watch a Cinderella Story. The entire film centres around this magnificent quote and teaches so much about life and love. This should be an everyday rule for everyone out there!
49. The Lion King
Quit worrying about what your friends or family think, quote worrying about if you’re from two different worlds or people don’t approve. It’s what you think that counts. It’s how you feel that matters. That should always be enough. It’s only when love feels wrong that it is wrong, until then it can endure anything.
50. Anonymous
This is one of the best feelings when you’re in love. I’ll admit I find myself thinking it constantly. I feel so blessed to have a partner as kind and loving as I do. Sometimes I’m taken by surprise when I remember just how lucky I am. It’s a great feeling, one I hope everyone gets the chance to experience.
That is very cool–it has probably been used in multiple artistic pieces. The best quotes have a habit of getting used and reused over time, so they appear in multiple locations.
I just want to point out that #50 (Have I mentioned today how lucky I am to be in love with you) is not an anonymous quote, and should be credited to Jason Robert Brown, the composer of the musical “The Last 5 Years,” in which these lyrics are featured (the song is “Schmuel Song”). I love this article but I thought I would point it out because I immediately recognized the lyric, and while some people might not I think it is important that credit is given where credit is due ^_^
