How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
I love thee to the depth and breadth and height
My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight
For the end of Being and ideal Grace. — Elizabeth Barrett Browning · 1850My bounty is as boundless as the sea,
My love as deep. The more I give to thee,
The more I have, for both are infinite. — William Shakespeare · 1597I love you. You...complete me. — Jerry Maguire · 1996My mistress' eyes are nothing like the sun;
Coral is far more red than her lips' red...
I love to hear her speak, yet well I know
That music hath a far more pleasing sound. — William Shakespeare · 1609Doubt thou the stars are fire,
Doubt that the sun doth move,
Doubt truth to be a liar,
But never doubt I love. — William Shakespeare · 1616Flesh of flesh,
Bone of my bone thou art, and from thy state
Mine never shall be parted, bliss or woe. — John Milton · 1667All 12 quotes →Being in love9 quotes

Smiles, tears, of all my life!-and if God choose,
I shall but love thee better after death. — Elizabeth Barrett Browning · 1850I love that you get cold when it's 71 degrees out. I love that it takes you an hour and a half to order a sandwich. I love that you get a little crinkle above your nose when you're looking at me like I'm nuts. I love that after I spend the day with you, I can still smell your perfume on my clothes. And I love that you are the last person I want to talk to before I go to sleep at night. — Harry Burns · 1989All 9 quotes →Men and women2 quotes
Flesh of flesh,
Bone of my bone thou art, and from thy state
Mine never shall be parted, bliss or woe. — John Milton · 1667What thou art is mine;
Our state cannot be severed, we are one,
One flesh; to lose thee were to lose my self. — John Milton · 1667Beautiful women1 quote
But thy eternal summer shall not fade
Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow'st,
Nor shall Death brag thou wand’rest in his shade,
When in eternal lines to time thou grow’st.
So long as men can breathe or eyes can see,
So long lives this, and this gives life to thee. — William Shakespeare · 1609Falling in love1 quote

Too late I loved you, O Beauty ever ancient and ever new! Too late I loved you! And, behold, you were within me, and I out of myself and there I searched for you. — St. Augustine · 400Hate1 quote
I hate the way you talk to me, and the way you cut your hair. I hate the way you drive my car. I hate it when you stare. I hate your big dumb combat boots, and the way you read my mind. I hate you so much it makes me sick; it even makes me rhyme. I hate it, I hate the way you're always right. I hate it when you lie. I hate it when you make me laugh, even worse when you make me cry. I hate it when you're not around, and the fact that you didn't call. But mostly I hate the way I don't hate you. Not even close, not even a little bit, not even at all. — Kat Stratford · 1999Hopelessly in love1 quote
You had me at hello. — Dorothy Boyd · 1996Loving God1 quote
Too late I loved you, O Beauty ever ancient and ever new! Too late I loved you! And, behold, you were within me, and I out of myself and there I searched for you. — St. Augustine · 400Loving oneself1 quote
I love you, but I love me more. — Samantha · 2002Religious conversion1 quote
