10 of My Favorite Quotes about Love

August 12, 2021 by Melissa Chapman 1 Comment

When you are married for almost 23 years – sometimes you need to be reminded to cherish your partner and what better way to do it than with 10 of My Favorite Quotes about Love.

You need to remember that Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.  It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 

Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.  It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

The wings of the butterfly are so delicate and powerful with such elegance and beauty ... and to think ... the caterpillar once scurry along the ground only to one day fly amongst the heavens ... like you and me :) photo courtesy

While I try to remember this as I look at that band-aid that has been floating aimlessly on my stair case for a solid six months ( as I wait for my husband to notice it and pick it up)  rather than get into a battle of wills I attempt not to be easily angered. But the truth is being in love for more than a few hours- ultimately takes the patience of an actual SAINT.

So the next time you feel like wringing your spouse’s neck because that “thing” he promised he would take care of- still needs to be taken care of- or he eats that last scoop of Ben and Jerry’s VEGAN  ice cream ( that costs almost as much as your monthly gym membership) which you were saving in the container for a special treat- or after bearing the very depths of your soul to him while you are lying in bed- you realize your soliloquy put him to sleep- keep  these 10 of My Favorite Quotes about Love in mind.

#1 I love you as certain dark things are to be loved, in secret, between the shadow and the soul.
— Pablo Neruda

#2 Love is always patient and kind. It is never jealous. Love is never boastful or conceited. It is never rude or selfish. It does not take offense and is not resentful. Love takes no pleasure in other people’s sins, but delights in the truth. It is always ready to excuse, to trust, to hope, and to endure whatever comes.
— Anonymous (The New Jerusalem Bible (NJB))

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

— Robert A. Heinlein

#4 The difference between sex and love is that sex relieves tension and love causes it.
— Woody Allen

#5 Anyone who falls in love is searching for the missing pieces of themselves. So anyone who’s in love gets sad when they think of their lover. It’s like stepping back inside a room you have fond memories of, one you haven’t seen in a long time.
— Haruki Murakami

#6 How do I love thee? Let me count the ways. I love thee to the depth and breadth and height My soul can reach.
— Elizabeth Barrett Browning

 #7 I fell in love with her courage, her sincerity, and her flaming self respect. And it’s these things I’d believe in, even if the whole world indulged in wild suspicions that she wasn’t all she should be. I love her and it is the beginning of everything.
— F. Scott Fitzgerald, on wife Zelda

#8 Piglet: “How do you spell ‘love’?” Winnie the Pooh: “You don’t spell it…you feel it.”
— A.A. Milne, Winnie the Poo

Have you ever just looked at someone and though, 'I really love you.' They're just talking or humming or watching a movie or reading a book or laughing or something, and there's something about them in that moment that makes you think, 'I just really love you.' photo courtesy

#9 This is what we call love. When you are loved, you can do anything in creation. When you are loved, there’s no need at all to understand what’s happening, because everything happens within you.
— Paulo Coelho

#10 To love oneself is the beginning of a lifelong romance.

— Oscar Wilde
