- We assume others show love the same way we do — and if they don’t, we worry it’s not there. Everyone has their own love language. That’s one of the most important lessons I’ve ever learned
- You have to love. You have to feel. It is the reason you are here on earth. You are here to risk your heart.
- There is a difference between kissing someone because they are attractive and kissing someone because words can no longer accurately express your feelings for the person
- People don’t like love, they like that flittery flirty feeling. They don’t love love – love is sacrificial, love is ferocious, it’s not emotive. Our culture doesn’t love love, it loves the idea of love. It wants the emotion without paying anything for it. It’s ridiculous. — Matt Chandler (This is why love is difficult.)
- Only be with someone who you think you can learn from. They should be smarter than you in certain ways so that you can continue to grow and be interested. Above all, you should undoubtedly be proud that you are with them.
- Being married someday is going to be so cool. Like you get to come home to your best friend every single day and just do life together.
- Be with someone who always wants to know how your day was.
- Before I kissed you, I learned what it’s like to crave with every single living cell in my body. When I kissed you, I finally figured out why chaotic hurricanes are named after people. After I kissed you, I realized that I have been waiting for you since before I was born. — Lynette Simeone
- If ever you fall in love, do so without reservation, or rather, if you should fall in love simply give no thought to any reservation. — Vincent Van Gogh
- You feel like what I know home feels like.
- Love can come when you’re already who you are, when you’re filled with you. Not when you look to someone else to fill the empty space. — Deb Caletti, Honey, Baby, Sweetheart
- Be careful who you make memories with. Those things can last a lifetime. — Ugo Eze
- Here is the simple truth about people: Love the ones you want to keep. — Iain Thomas, I Wrote This For You
- Life is for deep kisses, strange adventures, midnight swims and rambling conversations.
- Sometimes we expect more from others because we’d be willing to do that much for them.
- Notice the people who are happy for your happiness, and sad for your sadness. They’re the ones who deserve special places in your heart.
- When you truly love someone, you would do anything to make them happy even if it means to say goodbye.
- Every time we make the decision to love someone, we open ourselves to great suffering, because those we most love cause us not only great joy but also great pain. The greatest pain comes from leaving. When the child leaves home, when the husband or wife leaves for a long period of time or for good, when the beloved friend departs to another country or dies … The pain of the leaving can tear us apart. Still, if we want to avoid the suffering of leaving, we will never experience the joy of loving. And love is stronger than fear, life stronger than death, hope stronger than despair. We have to trust that the risk of loving is always worth taking. — Henri J.M. Nouwen
- To be able to say: I loved this person, we had a hell of a nice time together, it’s over but in a way it will never be over and I do know that I for sure loved this person, to be able to say that and mean it, that’s rare…That’s rare and valuable. — Ernest Hemingway
- You don’t just stop loving someone because they don’t love you back
- If someone wants you in their life, they’ll make room for you. You shouldn’t have to fight for a spot. Never, ever insist yourself to someone who continuously overlooks your worth.
- Learn the difference between a man who flatters you and a man who compliments you. A man who spends money on you and a man who invests in you. A man who views you as property and a man who views you properly. A man who lusts after you and a man who loves you.
- I guess that’s just part of loving people: you have to give things up. Sometimes you even have to give them up. — Lauren Oliver, Delirium
- I love you, that means I’m not just here for the pretty parts. I’m here no matter what.—Claudia Gray, Hourglass
- Let someone love you just the way you are – as flawed as you might be, as unattractive as you sometimes feel, and as unaccomplished as you think you are. To believe that you must hide all the parts of you that are broken, out of fear that someone else is incapable of loving what is less than perfect, is to believe that sunlight is incapable of entering a broken window and illuminating a dark room.— Marc Hack
