Love Quotes
This is one of the biggest pages on the site, and most of what is on it is not the kind of line you would put on a mug. Wikiquote’s editors drew these from poems, novels, letters and essays, so a lot of them only make full sense next to the sentences around them. That is useful if you want a real source and annoying if you want a caption.
Two of the best-known love quotes are flagged here as misattributed. “Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life” is credited to Confucius. The oldest English version anyone has found is from a 1982 alumni magazine, where the man quoted was himself passing it along from an unnamed source. “God made beer because he loves us and wants us to be happy” is credited to Benjamin Franklin. It looks like a garbled version of what he wrote about wine in 1779, in a letter to André Morellet.
If a quote you want is marked disputed or attributed, that is Wikiquote’s judgement, not ours. The notes on the quote’s page show what the editors found.
When love is at its best, one loves
So much that he cannot forget.
"There are strings," said Mr. Tappertit, "…in the human heart that had better not be wibrated."
When we want to say something deeply personal, we often say that we are speaking “from the heart".
Who, for the poor renown of being smart,
Would leave a sting within a brother's heart?
The more we find to love, the more we add to the measure of our hearts.
You couldn't love anything as much as I loved investments and not get fairly good at it.
Our souls are brought together so that we could love each other.
How can I give love when I don't know what it is I'm giving?
