Quotes on love that hit the spot.
It’s hard to find the words. Love is something we feel but don’t see. It comes in as many manifestations as there are hearts to beat for it. These quotes on love collect wisdom on the subject from some of history’s most talented wordsmiths to help us express this wonderous feeling.
Use these quotes in cards or letters, posters or banners, or collages of quotes and photos. Organized from falling in love quotes to “love thyself” mantras, these quotes on love cover the gamut.
Falling in love quotes.
The first chapter is the moment we fall in love. That phrase itself captures part of its wonder: just as suddenly as we “fall ill” or “fall down,” we fall in love. These falling-in-love quotes put that sensation into other words. Some of them reflect the act of falling in love mutually. Others stoke the fire of an unrequited love.
For the most part, these quotes offer little capsules of that warm feeling that flushes around our hearts and lungs when we fall. Choose the quote that sums up your experience — and don’t be shy to use it in a card or letter to the one you’ve fallen for.

“It's complicated” love quotes.
Love is messy. We sometimes fall in love with the wrong person or fall in love at the wrong time. Love is often unrequited, and when it is returned, it can be painful. Not every case of love fits into the Valentine’s Day mold.
These quotes talk about love inclusively. They send messages for those who are hurting, or confused, or feeling judged by everyone on the outside. Choose the quote that strikes the right notes and love will continue to rule the day — but by your definition.
Lost love quotes.
Heartbreak is as universal in love as love itself. At some point, most love comes to an end. Lost love quotes capture the pain and bottle it. They lock step with a plan to move on, even if they still drag the remnants of the hurt behind them.
In Spanish, heartbreak is called “desamor,” or the “undoing” of love, as though love were a pair of shoelaces whose knot falls out of place. These lost love quotes describe that feeling in deeply relatable ways.

Love yourself quotes.
You have to love yourself before you can love another. Learn these quotes about loving yourself and commit your favorite ones to memory. Consider using one of them on a poster to act as a reminder you probably need.
The more you love yourself, the more you’ll have to give of yourself to the person you love. Choose the love yourself quote you think you could turn into a personal mantra.

Love is all around.
These love quotes focus a lot on romantic love, but they aren’t all exclusive to it. Look at your favorite love quotes and pick the ones that make you think of:
- Your love for a parent
- Your love for a sibling
- Your love for a friend
- Your love for a mentor or leader
- Your love for a pet
That’s the funny thing about love: in English, we have just one word for it. In Spanish, there are two words to choose from (querer and amar). Ancient Greek had between four and six words, depending on who you ask. Sanskrit has 96 words for love.
Use these quotes about love any way you can. The world can never have too much love. Pick your favorites, then Adobe Express can help you turn them into cards, letters, banners, posters, collages, social posts, and more.
Exercise: An exercise in vulnerability.
In love, we make ourselves vulnerable. That means we open ourselves up to possible hurt to let love in.
Are you good at making yourself vulnerable? Do you open up too much, or not at all?
Many of the love quotes here touch on vulnerability, but they also talk about courage. These qualities are two sides of the same coin.
Whether it’s romantic love, a past love, or other kinds of love, there are quotes in this list that fit. Pick the quotes that make you think of specific people, then consider how you could share the quote with them. Would your crush be receptive to a card? Could a friend get warm and fuzzies if tagged in a social post?
