And suddenly all your troubles melt away, all your worries are gone, and it is for no reason other than the look in your partner's eyes. Yes, sometimes life and love really is that simple.
William Wordsworth
2.
Life's just one great journey. It's a road we travel as we go from point A to point B. What makes that journey worthwhile is the people we choose to travel with, the people we hold close as we take steps into the darkness and blindly make our way through life. They're the people who matter.
Dr. Seuss
3.
The sunlight claps the earth, and the moonbeams kiss the sea: what are all these kissings worth, if thou kiss not me?
Percy Bysshe Shelley
4.
The secret to happiness, at least to peace of mind, is knowing how to separate sex from love. And, if possible, eliminating romantic love from your life, which is the love that makes you suffer. That way, I assure you, you live with greater tranquility and enjoy things more.
Mario Vargas Llosa
6.
Friendship is all about trust and sharing. Passionate and romantic love is all about sex and emotions. You have to try to combine those, I think. The great marriages, the great couples I know, have both.
Isabel Allende
7.
Romantic Love delivers us into the passionate arms of someone who will ultimately trigger the same frustrations we had with our parents, but for the best possible reason! Doing so brings our childhood wounds to the surface so they can be healed.
Harville Hendrix
8.
No relationship would be successful without a little compromise. If you can't learn to do that then I'm sorry to say your relationship will never survive. Love is about giving and taking, it's not just about smiles and kind words. Compromise is key.
Glennon Melton
10.
Every relationship has problems but when those problems arise you have to realise that they don't mean your relationship is broken, it's just a little bent. Bent things can be fixed and like so your relationship can too. The first step however is realising that.
Johnny Depp
12.
It is better to break one's heart than to do nothing with it.
Margaret Kennedy
13.
I firmly believe that if you follow these simple rules then you'll have a wonderfully romantic life. They're all so important when it comes to building a strong relationship, especially the very last one.
F. Burton Howard
14.
Now a soft kiss - Aye, by that kiss, I vow an endless bliss.
John Keats
15.
Romantic love is an obsession. It possesses you. You lose your sense of self. You can’t stop thinking about another human being.
Helen Fisher
16.
Gone were my girlish ideas about romantic love and my later ideas about sexual love. From Yi, I learned to appreciate deep-heart love. Peony in Love
Lisa See

Even when you're down and blue, just remember that someone out there loves you, even if you don't know it and even if you haven't yet met them. There's someone out there waiting for you, remember that and keep faith. You'll get there.
Johnny Depp

I went to a meeting for premature ejactulators. I left early.
Jack Benny
19.
Any kind of novelty or excitement drives up dopamine in the brain, and dopamine is associated with romantic love.
Helen Fisher
20.
How different things might be if, rather than saying "I think I'm in love," we were saying "I've connected with someone in a way that makes me think I'm on the way to knowing love." Or if instead of saying "I am in love" we say "I am loving" or "I will love." Our patterns around romantic love are unlikely to change if we do not change our language.
Bell Hooks
21.
Being kissed by a man who didn't wax his moustache was-like eating an egg without salt.
Rudyard Kipling
23.
I loved her against reason, against promise, against peace, against hope, against happiness, against all discouragement that could be.
Charles Dickens
24.
Romantic love can be terrifying. We experience another human being as enormously important to us. So there is surrender -not a surrender to the other person so much as to our feeling for the other person. What is the obstacle? The possibility of loss.
Nathaniel Branden
25.
The main characteristics of romantic love are craving: an intense craving to be with a particular person, not just sexually, but emotionally.
Helen Fisher
26.
That's what I like about film-it can be bizarre, classic, normal, romantic. Cinema is to me the most versatile thing.
Catherine Deneuve
28.
That on a romantic level, if you feel it about somebody and it's pure, it means that they do too.
Sean Penn

Then I did the simplest thing in the world. I leaned down... and kissed him. And the world cracked open.
Agnes de Mille
30.
I thought I was promiscuous, but it turns out I was just thorough.
Russell Brand
31.
Your love keeps me afloat but will remain the anchor in my soul... I don't really have words to describe how romantic I find that. Your love is what keeps me going, but it's also the anchor that keeps me close to you. I love it!
Rabindranath Tagore
32.
Teach not thy lip such scorn, for it was made For kissing, lady, not for such contempt.
William Shakespeare
33.
A kiss, when all is said, what is it? A rosy dot placed on the 'I' in loving; Tis a secret told to the mouth instead of to the ear.
Edmond Rostand
34.
That "ol' black magic" is a fickle force. The chemistry of romantic love can trigger the chemistry of sexual desire and the fuel of sexual desire can trigger the fuel of romance. This is why it is dangerous to copulate with someone with whom you don't wish to become involved. Although you intend to have casual sex, you might just fall in love.
Helen Fisher
35.
Classical, Romantic, and Baroque music, that's what I really like.
Joan Armatrading
36.
Work and love; these are the basics. Without them there is neurosis.
Theodor Reik
37.
This is my philosophy on all life, not just when it comes to love. All the best things are terrifying, but that's why they're the best things. Nothing worth having comes easy. You have to be afraid to want it, afraid to lose it, afraid to try. If you feel that, then you know you're on to a winner.
Thomas S. Monson
38.
There's magic to love... Millions of years ago we evolved three basic drives: the sex love, romantic love, and attachment to a long-term partner. These circuits are deeply embedded in the human brian. They're going to survive as long as our species survive on what Shakespeare called, this "mortal coil."
Helen Fisher
39.
We believe that according the name 'investors' to institutions that trade actively is like calling someone who repeatedly engages in one-night stands a 'romantic.'
Warren Buffett
40.
The best use of life is love. The best expression of love is time. The best time to love is now.
Rick Warren
41.
The notion that the public accepts or rejects anything in modern art is merely romantic fiction. The game is completed and the trophies distributed long before the public knows what has happened.
Tom Wolfe
42.
I think romantic love evolved to enable you to focus your mating energy on just one individual at a time, thereby conserving mating time and energy.
Helen Fisher
43.
Now, dearest comrade, lift me to your face,
We must separate awhileHere! take from my lips this kiss.
Whoever you are, I give it especially to you;
So long!And I hope we shall meet again.
Walt Whitman
44.
I think the American West really attracts me because it's romantic. The desert, the empty space, the drama.
Ang Lee
45.
But the you who you are tonight is the same you I was in love with yesterday, the same you I’ll be in love with tomorrow.
Gayle Forman
46.
Love is like swallowing hot chocolate before it has cooled off. It takes you by surprise at first, but keeps you warm for a long time.
Henri Frederic Amiel
47.
Romance is dead - it was acquired in a hostile takeover by Hallmark and Disney, homogenized, and sold off piece by piece.
Yeardley Smith
48.
I have a crush on your mind, I fell for your personality and your looks are just a big bonus.
Nicholas Sparks

Love is telling someone their hair extensions are showing.
Natasha Leggero

The quality of love and the duration of a relationship are in direct proportion to the depth of the commitment by both people to making the relationship successful. Commit yourself wholeheartedly and unconditionally to the most important people in your life.
Brian Tracy
