Love is hard to describe, yet is probably the most powerful thing in our lives. They say ‘love conquers all’, and ‘all you need is love’, but what exactly is it? Here are 15 of the greatest quotations on the subject of love, by some of the deepest thinkers, writers and poets of all time. Immerse yourself in the madness we call ‘love’…
“Love is the flower of life, and blossoms unexpectedly and without law, and must be plucked where it is found, and enjoyed for the brief hour of its duration.” D. H. Lawrence
“If I am given a chance to change one thing in this world, I will change the order of alphabets and place U and I together.” Unknown
“When we feel love and kindness towards others, it not only makes others feel loved and cared for, but it helps us also to develop inner happiness and peace. And there are ways in which we can consciously work to develop feelings of love and kindness.” 14th Dalai Lama
“When you feel lonely, look to the sky and know that I am somewhere beneath that same sky thinking of you and wishing you were there with me.” Unknown
“I love thee, I love but thee With a love that shall not die Till the sun grows cold And the stars grow old.” William Shakespeare
“Since love grows within you, so beauty grows. For love is the beauty of the soul.” Saint Augustine of Hippo
“The hours I spend with you I look upon as sort of a perfumed garden, a dim twilight, and a fountain signing to it – you and you alone make me feel that I am alive – Other men, it is said, have seen angels, but I have seen thee and thou art enough.” George Moore
“I love you not only for what you are, but for what I am when I am with you. I love you not only for what you have made of yourself, but for what you are making of me. I love you for the part of me that you bring out.” Elizabeth Barrett Browning
“When you are in Love you can’t fall asleep because reality is better than your dreams.” Dr Seuss
“To the world you may be one person, but to one person you may be the world.” Heather Cortez
“For it was not into my ear you whispered, but into my heart. It was not my lips you kissed, but my soul.” Judy Garland
“I’m so in love, every time I look at you my soul gets dizzy.” Jaesse Tyler
“If I had a single flower for every time I think about you, I could walk forever in my garden.” Claudia Ghandi
“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.” Unknown
“I dropped a tear in the ocean, when I find it, that’s when I’ll stop loving you.” Unknown
Very wise words that are in fact deeper than you might think – well worth meditating on some of those. Love is everything!
It’s a lovely post full of inspirational love!
This is a quite long quote, but I think it’s worth mentioning:
“For many people, there is a feeling of care…which comes from the essence. Just like people feel things when they’re aware, feel things spiritually in that sense. Because that love and that spiritual feeling, or spiritual feelings of all kinds, true ones, are from the same source. And if you want to activate love, you’ve got to activate consciousness. You’ve got to activate awareness. And remove the things around it, which are blocking it, the egos. Ego states, which just engulf it completely. And when you do that, you start to see more of reality. And love is not about thinking positively, or thinking loving thoughts, or even doing kind deeds although these are expressions of it. It’s seeing and feeling and being part of reality. Because in reality, we’re all part of one. Not only one humanity, but one substance. And as you have the Being inside, if you have the Being inside, then you become part of this substance of the universe, of creation. It’s a substance of light. And this light, this substance, is you and is everything else. And each person is a self-aware part of itself. So love is seeing reality. You don’t…when you really have it, when you really feel it, you don’t have to think about it. It’s just there.” ~ Belzebuub

Very well-written. Love is a broad word to describe and feeling which everyone can experience. Love is truly pure. People seems to misunderstood it and others may play with it. Love is given by GOD and His LOVE is the greatest of all.
The good news is there are quotes of love for every occasion and every one. Fortunately, plenty of romantics have walked this world before us so many that you never really have to be worried about not having the right words.
Yeah! You did me inspire with this blog, thanks for sharing it.
