We have compiled a list of twenty timeless quotes about love that you can use to profess your love or just express your current mood.

Quote #1

“I no longer believed in the idea of soul mates, or love at first sight. But I was beginning to believe that a very few times in your life, if you were lucky, you might meet someone who was exactly right for you. Not because he was perfect, or because you were, but because your combined flaws were arranged in a way that allowed two separate beings to hinge together.”

~ Lisa Kleypas

Quote #2

“Love is friendship that has caught fire. It is quiet understanding, mutual confidence, sharing and forgiving. It is loyalty through good and bad times. It settles for less than perfection and makes allowances for human weaknesses.”

~ Ann Landers

Quote #3

“True love is eternal, infinite, and always like itself. It is equal and pure, without violent demonstrations: it is seen with white hairs and is always young in the heart.”

~ Honore de Balzac

Quote #4

“The problem about cutting out the best of your heart and giving it to people, is that 1. It hurts to do that; and 2. You never know if they are going to throw it away or not. But then you should still do it. Because any other way is cowardice. At the end of the day, it's about being brave and we are only haunted by the ghosts that we trap within ourselves; we are not haunted by the ghosts that we let out. We are haunted by the ghosts that we cover and hide. So you let those ghosts out in that best piece of your heart that you give to someone. And if the other person throws it away? Or doesn't want it to begin with? Someone else will come along one day, cut out from his/her heart that exact same jagged shape that you cut out of your own heart, and make their piece of heart fit into the rest of yours. Wait for that person. And you can fill their missing piece with your soul.”

~ C. JoyBell C.

“True love, especially first love, can be so tumultuous and passionate that it feels like a violent journey. “

“Whatever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same.

~ Emily Bronte

Quote #7

“I already knew our “ever after” wouldn't always be happy or even comfortable―and clearly it couldn't be expected to go according to plan. Still, it was ours. And we were both determined enough to see it through to “the end.”

~ Angela N. Blount

Quote #8

“Love is when the desire to be desired takes you so badly that you feel you could die of it.”

~ Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec

Quote #9

“Falling in love consists merely in uncorking the imagination and bottling the common sense.”

~ Helen Rowland

Quote #10

“True love is not a strong, fiery, impetuous passion. It is, on the contrary, an element calm and deep. It looks beyond mere externals, and is attracted by qualities alone. It is wise and discriminating, and its devotion is real and abiding.”

~ Ellen G. White

Quote #11

“Time is too slow for those who wait, too swift for those who fear, too long for those who grieve, too short for those who rejoice, but for those who love, time is eternity.”

~ Henry Van Dyke

Quote #12

“Love is a force more formidable than any other. It is invisible - it cannot be seen or measured, yet it is powerful enough to transform you in a moment, and offer you more joy than any material possession could.”

~ Barbara de Angelis

Quote #13

“The moment you have in your heart this extraordinary thing called love and feel the depth, the delight, the ecstasy of it, you will discover that for you the world is transformed.”

~ Jiddu Krishnamurti

Quote #14

~ Steve Maraboli

Quote #15

“True love doesn't happen right away; it's an ever-growing process. It develops after you've gone through many ups and downs, when you've suffered together, cried together, laughed together.“

~ Ricardo Montalban

Quote #16

“Love consists in giving without getting in return; in giving what is not owed, what is not due the other. That's why true love is never based, as associations for utility or pleasure are, on a fair exchange.”

~ Mortimer Adler

Quote #17

“True love would look a second time. True love would not be thwarted. True love would not accept no for an answer. He would search the world and certainly look again and again in every cottage until he finds you.”

~ Alex Flinn, A Kiss in Time

Quote #18

“Love and electricity are one in the same, my dear. If you do not feel the jolt in your soul every time a kiss is shared, a whisper is spoken, a touch is felt, then you're not really in love at all.”

~ C. J. Franks

Quote #19

“You don't love someone for their looks, or their clothes, or for their fancy car, but because they sing a song only you can hear.”

~ Oscar Wilde

“The future for me is already a thing of the past. You were my first love and you will be my last”

~ Bob Dylan
