Amour

Here’s just some of my favorite romantic quotes and a few famous love letters. Hopefully they can pick you up out of a depressed mood or give some of you a little hope after a tough break up or a long period of single-ness…

If I tell you I love you, can I keep you forever? ~ casper

If you have it…LoVe…you don’t need to have anything else; and if you don’t have it, it doesn’t matter much what else you have. ~ james m. barrie

Look, I guarantee there’ll be tough times. I guarantee that at some time, one or both of us is gonna want to get out of this thing. But I also guarantee that if I don’t ask you to be mine, I’ll regret it for the rest of my life, because I know, in my heart, you’re the only one for me. ~ runaway bride

When they ask me what I liked best, I’ll tell them it was you. ~ city of angels

They didn’t agree on much. In fact, they didn’t agree on anything. They fought all the time and challenged each other every day. But dispite their differences, they had one important thing in common… they were crazy about each other. ~ duke (the notebook)

If you love someone you say it, you say it right then, out loud. Otherwise the moment just… 
passes you by… ~ my best friend’s wedding

One word frees us of all the weight and pain of life: That word is love. ~ Sophocles

How lucky I am to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard. ~ annie (the musical)

Love is a temporary madness. It erupts like an earthquake and then subsides. And when it subsides you have to make a decision. You have to work out whether your roots have become so entwined together that it is inconceivable that you should ever part. Because this is what love is. Love is not breathlessness, it is not excitement, it is not the promulgation of promises of eternal passion. That is just being “in love” which any of us can convince ourselves we are. Love itself is what is left over when being in love has burned away, and this is both an art and a fortunate accident. ~ captain corelli’s mandolin

You’re not perfect sport, and let me save you the suspense, this girl you met, she isn’t perfect either. But the question is whether or not you’re perfect for each other. ~ good will hunting

There’s an Italian painter, named Carlotti, and he defined beauty…He said it was the summation of the parts, working together in such a way that nothing needed to be added, taken away, or altered, and thats you, you’re beautiful. ~ next

I love that you get cold when it is 71 degrees out. I love that it takes you an hour and a half to order a sandwich. I love that you get a little crinkle in your nose when you’re looking at me like I’m nuts. I love that after I spend day with you, I can still smell your perfume on my clothes. And I love that you are the last person I want to talk to before I go to sleep at night. And it’s not because I’m lonely, and it’s not because it’s New Year’s Eve. I came here tonight because when you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible. ~ when harry met sally

The things that people in love do to each other they remember, and if they stay together it’s not because they forget, it’s because they forgive. ~ indecent proposal

When the planes hit the twin towers, as far as I know none of the phone calls from the people on board were messages of hate or revenge — they were all messages of love. ~ love actually

You dont get to choose you just fall in love and you get this person who is all wrong and all right at the same time. And you know you love them so much except sometimes they just drive you completely insane and no one can explain it. And the reason its so confusing is because it’s love., but if love didn’t have any challenges what would be the point? ~ party of five

All our young lives we search for someone to love, someone who makes us complete. We chose partners and change partners. We dance to a song of heartbreak and hope, all the while wondering if somewhere and somehow there is someone searching for us. ~ the wonder years

If you live to be a hundred, I want to live to be a hundred minus a day so I don’t have to live a day without you. ~ winnie the pooh

You know that place between sleep and awake, the place where you can still remember dreaming? That’s where I’ll always love you, Peter Pan. That’s where I’ll be waiting. -Tinkerbell, from the Peter Pan play

You are the only person that can make my heart beat faster and slower at the same time. – the hot chick

Love is that can’t eat, can’t sleep, reach for the stars, over the fence, world series kinda stuff. -angels in the outfield

Hearts will never be practical, until they are made unbreakable. -the wizard of oz

When they ask me what I liked best, I’ll say it was you. -city of angels

You’re the only person who’s ever really known me. And when I’m with you, I feel normal. I’ll always love you for that. -smallville

My dearest (To Adele Foucher),

When two souls, which have sought each other for,
however long in the throng, have finally found each other …a union, fiery and pure as they themselves are… begins on earth and continues forever in heaven.

This union is love, true love, … a religion, which deifies the loved one, whose life comes from devotion and passion, and for which the greatest sacrifices are the sweetest delights.

This is the love which you inspire in me… Your soul is made to love with the purity and passion of angels; but perhaps it can only love another angel, in which case I must tremble with apprehension.

Yours forever,
Victor Hugo (1821)

May 12, 1869

Out of the depths of my happy heart wells a great tide of love and prayer for this priceless treasure that is confided to my life-long keeping.

You cannot see its intangible waves as they flow towards you, darling, but in these lines you will hear, as it were, the distant beating of the surf.

Mark Twain (Samuel Langhorne Clemens), American writer, to Olivia Langdon, his future wife.
