love is all you need

if you know me, you know that i have a slight obsession with lyrics and quotes. today i decided to fill this post with some of my favorite words about love (hey, it's valentine's weekend). enjoy!

do you want me to tell you something really subversive? love really is everything it's cracked up to be. that's why people are so cynical about it. it really is worth fighting for, worth being brave for, worth risking everything for. and the trouble is, if you don't risk anything, you risk even more. (erica jong)

love is the condition in which another's happiness is essential to your own. (robert heinlein)

when love is not madness, it is not love. (pedro calderon de la barca)

you are what i never knew i always wanted. (fools rush in)

place me like a seal over your heart, like a seal on your arm; for love is as strong as death, it's jealousy as enduring as the grave. love flashes like a fire - the brightest kind of flame. (song of solomon 8:6)

don't ask me to leave you and turn back. wherever you go, i'll go. wherever you live, i'll live. your people will be my people, and your god, my god. (ruth 1:16)

love is a choice you make from moment to moment. (barbara de angelis)

why love if losing hurts so much? we love to know that we are not alone. (cs lewis)

friendship is the finest balm for the pangs of despised love. (jane austen)

earth's the best place for love. i don't know where it's likely to go better. (robert frost)

where there is love, there is pain. (spanish proverb)

life is messy. love is messier. (catch and release)

dianne: nobody thinks this is going to work, do they?
lloyd: you just described every great success story.
(say anything)

i guarantee you there'll be tough times. i guarantee that at some point, one or both of us is going to 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 that you're the only one for me.
(runaway bride)

a life without love is no life at all. (ever after)

you can't help who you love. you're not supposed to. (save the last dance)

la vita e bella. la vita e amore. life is beautiful. life is love. (life is beautiful)

if you're not willing to sound stupid, you're not worthy of falling in love. (a lot like love)

you have bewitched me - body and soul, and i love - i love - i love you. (pride and prejudice)

some of the best things in life are total mistakes. (paycheck)

love is a great beautifier. (little women)

the course of true love never did run smooth. (william shakespeare)

i'll follow you and make heaven out of hell; i'll die by your hand which i love so well. (william shakespeare)

journeys end in lovers' meeting. (william shakespeare)

doubt thou the stars are fire
doubt the sun doth move
doubt truth to be a liar
but never doubt thy love
(william shakespeare)

i want you. i want all of you. you and me. every day. forever. (the notebook)
