Of course, romantic love isn’t the only kind of love there is — there’s also the type of love you have for your friends, love for God or nature, familial love, the love you express to the world at large, and even the love you have for yourself.Because love is so idealized in our culture, quotes on love abound, and a lot of them are pretty cheesy and overused.

Here you can find the perfect love quote to send to your sweetheart, or to soothe your broken heart.
1
Hatred paralyzes life; love releases it. Hatred confuses life; love harmonizes it. Hatred darkens life; love illuminates it.
- MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR.
Interpretation: Whereas hatred causes paralysis, confusion, and darkness, love is mobilizing, harmonizing, and illuminating. In other words, love is the antidote to hate.
2
Immature love says: ‘I love you because I need you.’ Mature love says ‘I need you because I love you.’
- ERICH FROMM
Interpretation: Immature people don’t really understand what love is; they misinterpret a feeling of need for love. A mature person realizes that you only truly “need” someone whom you truly love, not the other way around. In other words, you must learn to love someone without being dependent on them.
3
Tell me who admires you and loves you, and I will tell you who you are.
- ANTOINE DE SAINT-EXUPÉRY
Interpretation: The people who love and look up to you say a lot about who you are. For example, if only the people you give money to love you, you are a rather pathetic person who has to “buy” friendship. On the other hand, if you are loved by many people whom others also love and respect, then you are likely a great person who is worthy of admiration.
4
Absence diminishes mediocre passions and increases great ones, as the wind extinguishes candles and fans fires.
- FRANÇOIS DE LA ROCHEFOUCAULD
Interpretation: You have probably heard the saying, “Absence makes the heart grow fonder,” in regards to love. This quote presents an extension of that idea. It means that while the absence of a much-loved person or passion (say, playing the violin indeed makes you realize how much you really love that person or thing, absence actually makes you forget about people and pursuits that you don’t feel strongly about. This perfectly fits the metaphor of wind blowing out small flames (candles) but increasing large ones (fires).
5
Love is an irresistible desire to be irresistibly desired.
- ROBERT FROST
Interpretation: Love is not necessarily desire for the person you love, but a desire for the beloved to find you irresistible. This suggests a kind of love that is more about the self than it is about the other person, as it serves to feed one’s own ego above all else.
6
I would rather have eyes that cannot see; ears that cannot hear; lips that cannot speak, than a heart that cannot love.
- ROBERT TIZON
Interpretation: The author is saying he would rather be blind, deaf, and mute, rather than be unable to love.
7
Love is a fruit in season at all times, and within reach of every hand.
- MOTHER TERESA
Interpretation: Love is nourishment that does not discriminate or expire; anyone can have it at any time.
8
Love is a canvas furnished by Nature and embroidered by imagination.
- VOLTAIRE
Interpretation: Love is like a blank canvas that the universe gives us; but the image we paint on it — how we express and experience love — is created by our imagination.
9
People are illogical, unreasonable, and self-centered. Love them anyway.
- KENT M. KEITH
Interpretation: People are very flawed — they are irrational and selfish. However, we must overlook their flaws and love them regardless.
10
‘Tis better to have loved and lost, Than never to have loved at all.
- ALFRED TENNYSON
Interpretation: Even if your heart ends up getting broken, the experience of being in love is worth the pain it brings. Appropriately, this is something people sometimes say to comfort someone who has just had their heart broken.
In dreams and in love there are no impossibilities.
- JÁNOS ARANY
Interpretation: Being in love is like a dream, in that you feel that there are no limits and that all things are possible.
12
The best and most beautiful things in this world cannot be seen or even heard, but must be felt with the heart.
- HELEN KELLER
Interpretation: You don’t need your physical senses, like sight and hearing, to experience the most wonderful, beautiful things in life. These beautiful things, like love, can only be experienced by the heart, or soul.
13
Other men it is said have seen angels, but I have seen thee and thou art enough.
- GEORGE MOORE
Interpretation: You are like an angel to me; I don’t need to see a real angel since I have seen you.
14
For you see, each day I love you more. Today more than yesterday and less than tomorrow.
- ROSEMONDE GERARD
Interpretation: I love you more every day. This means I love you more than I did yesterday, and that tomorrow I will love you more than I did today.
15
To love and win is the best thing. To love and lose, the next best.
- WILLIAM MAKEPEACE THACKERAY
Interpretation: Love for love’s sake. Of course, it is better to be lucky in love than unlucky. However, even if you end up losing your love, this is still far better than never having loved at all.
16
At the touch of love everyone becomes a poet.
- PLATO
Interpretation: There is something about being in love that inspires people to write poetry.
17
I’ve fallen in love many times . . . always with you.
- ANONYMOUS
Interpretation: Like most people, the anonymous author has fallen in love multiple times in his/her life … but always with the same person.
18
Love is the emblem of eternity; it confounds all notion of time; effaces all memory of a beginning, all fear of an end.
- GERMAINE DE STAËL
Interpretation: Love symbolizes eternity, or the idea of “forever”: It challenges the traditional idea of time, erases your memory of what life was like before you felt this love, and makes you not worry about the future, or even about death.
19
There is no remedy for love but to love more.
- DAVID HENRY THOREAU
Interpretation: Love has no antidote or cure. The only thing that will make you feel better if you are in love is to continue loving — rather than hardening your heart and trying to turn your love to hate.
20
Love is not a matter of counting the years . . . But making the years count.
- MICHELLE AMAND
Interpretation: Love isn’t about how long you’ve been with somebody; it’s about making sure the time you spend with your partner over the years is happy and fulfilling.
Paradise is always where love dwells.
- JEAN PAUL RICHTER
Interpretation: You can’t have paradise if you don’t have love; where love resides is where you’ll find paradise.
22
True love stories never have endings.
- RICHARD BACH
Interpretation: In movies, TV, books, etc., love stories always have endings — usually happy or tragic ones. In real life, love is not as dramatic or perfect because the “story” has no set ending; our real-life love stories never have neat resolutions like they do in fictional love stories.
23
I have found the paradox, that if you love until it hurts, there can be no more hurt, only more love.
- MOTHER TERESA
Interpretation: It may seem to defy common sense, but if you love so much that it brings you pain, you will no longer feel pain, just love itself.
24
Love: a wildly misunderstood although highly desirable malfunction of the heart which weakens the brain, causes eyes to sparkle, cheeks to glow, blood pressure to rise and the lips to pucker.
- ANONYMOUS
Interpretation: This funny quote about love attempts to explain the phenomenon in a faux-scientific way — as a type of “malfunction of the heart.” The anonymous author points out all of love’s physical effects: sparkling eyes, glowing cheeks, elevated blood pressure, and puckered lips.
25
Love me when I least deserve it, because that’s when I really need it.
- SWEDISH PROVERB
Interpretation: Love me when I am acting unlovable; I need love the most when I am behaving like a jerk.
26
We need not think alike to love alike.
- FRANCIS DAVID
Interpretation: You don’t have to agree with someone about everything in order to love each other in the same way.
27
The best portion of a good man’s life is his little, nameless, unremembered acts of kindness and of love.
- WILLIAM WORDSWORTH
Interpretation: Though seemingly insignificant, your small acts of kindness and love are the greatest things you will do in your life.
28
We don’t love qualities, we love persons; sometimes by reason of their defects as well as of their qualities.
- JACQUES MARITAIN
Interpretation: You cannot measure how much you love somebody based on how many positive qualities they have. We love people not only for their good qualities, but also sometimes for their flaws.
29
People will forget what you said. People will forget what you did. But people will never forget how you made them feel.
- MAYA ANGELOU
Interpretation: Your specific actions or words are not what people will remember most about you. Instead, they will remember how you affected their emotions. For example, you can spoil your children and tell them you love them all the time; but if you don’t make them feel loved, then that is the main thing will remember about you.
30
Nobody has ever measured, even poets, how much a heart can hold.
