For today’s Love Freebie theme, I’ve decided to share ten bookish quotes about love.
Some of them are about romantic love, but others are about the many other types of love that exist: platonic, familial, universal, practical, and more.
I believe this holiday can be used to celebrate all of them if you wish.
1. “Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that.”
― A Testament of Hope: The Essential Writings and Speeches
2. “Love is like the wind, you can’t see it but you can feel it.”
― A Walk to Remember
3. “When I despair, I remember that all through history the way of truth and love have always won. There have been tyrants and murderers, and for a time, they can seem invincible, but in the end, they always fall. Think of it–always.”
―
4. “Be the reason someone smiles. Be the reason someone feels loved and believes in the goodness in people.”
― The Light in the Heart
5. “Love doesn’t just sit there, like a stone, it has to be made, like bread; remade all the time, made new.”
― The Lathe of Heaven
6. “Have enough courage to trust love one more time and always one more time.”
―
7. “How do you spell ‘love’?” – Piglet
“You don’t spell it…you feel it.” – Pooh”
―
8. “To love oneself is the beginning of a lifelong romance.”
― An Ideal Husband
9. “Romance is the glamour which turns the dust of everyday life into a golden haze. ”
―
10. “There is nothing more truly artistic than to love people.”

Happy Valentine’s Day, everyone! Thank you for visiting our post today.
These are all lovely! The Ursual LeGuin quote is one I haven’t come across before — it’s amazing!
Thank you. Yeah, it was new to me as well, and it’s such good description of how to help keep a relationship healthy.
What great quotes! They are perfect for the holiday.
Thank you very much.
These are lovely quotes! It’s hard to pick a favorite, but I do really love that A.A. Milne one. I went with a quotes post today too.

Some great quotations there. I like the one from Captain Corelli’s Mandolin about love being what is left when being in love has faded.
Isn’t it descriptive? I’m glad you like it.
I’m so bad in remembering quotes, I haven’t heard of any of these I believe!
I hear you there. I tend to write them down as I go in a big file.
It’s easy to lose them, though.
