 Love  Sayings
Life has taught us that love does not consist in gazing at each other but in looking outward together in the same direction.




Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, Wind, Sand and Stars, 1939, translated from French by Lewis Galantière



For you see, each day I love you more. Today more than yesterday and less than tomorrow. Rosemonde Gerard



The ultimate test of a relationship is to disagree but to hold hands. Quoted by Alexandra Penney in Self



Love is, above all, the gift of oneself. Jean Anouilh



Love is like dew that falls on both nettles and lilies. Swedish Proverb



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



It is astonishing how little one feels alone when one loves. John Bulwer



A hundred hearts would be too few to carry all my love for you.



Love is the thing that enables a woman to sing while she mops up the floor after her husband has walked across it in his barn boots. Hoosier Farmer



Love unlocks doors and opens windows that weren't even there before. Mignon McLaughlin, The Second Neurotic's Notebook, 1966



Love is the poetry of the senses. Honoré de Balzac



I need the starshine of your heavenly eyes, after the day's great sun. Charles Hanson Towne



Love is not consolation. It is light. Friedrich Nietzsche



Loving is never a waste of time. Astrid Alauda

Love is what you've been through with somebody. James Thurber, quoted in Life magazine, 1960



Love is being stupid together. Paul Valery



Love is like a friendship caught on fire. In the beginning a flame, very pretty, often hot and fierce, but still only light and flickering. As love grows older, our hearts mature and our love becomes as coals, deep-burning and unquenchable. Bruce Lee





True love stories never have endings. Richard Bach



The supreme happiness of life is the conviction that we are loved - loved for ourselves, or rather, loved in spite of ourselves. Victor Hugo

Love is missing someone whenever you're apart, but somehow feeling warm inside because you're close in heart. Kay Knudsen



You learn to like someone when you find out what makes them laugh, but you can never truly love someone until you find out what makes them cry.





True love is when you put someone on a pedestal, and they fall - but you are there to catch them.





To the world you might be one person, but to one person you might be the world.





What I need to live has been given to me by the earth. Why I need to live has been given to me by you.





If I had a single flower for every time I think about you, I could walk forever in my garden. Attributed to Claudia Ghandi



In true love the smallest distance is too great, and the greatest distance can be bridged. Hans Nouwens



I love thee to the depth and breadth and height my soul can reach. Elizabeth Barrett Browning



We loved with a love that was more than love. Edgar Allan Poe



Who, being loved, is poor? Oscar Wilde



I love thee - I love thee,

'Tis all that I can say

It is my vision in the night,

My dreaming in the day.

Thomas Hood
