10 Inspiring Quotes on Love
Like any woman, I love to hear how much my man cares about me. When I was away in NYC recently for my book tour, Dean sent me the quote below:
"Love strikes a painful blow when we're apart. In your absence I'm lost, but in your arms I'm found."
His words never fail to make me melt! Here are ten other great quotes on love I found to inspire you today- enjoy.
"A heart that loves is always young." -Greek Proverb
"It is a risk to love. What if it doesn't work out? Ah, but what if it does." -Peter McWilliams
"Love is life. And if you miss love, you miss life."- Leo Buscaglia
"Brief is life but love is long."- Alfred Lord Tennyson
"Whatever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same."- Emily Bronte
"There are all kinds of love in this world but never the same love twice." –F. Scott Fitzgerald
"Love isn't finding a perfect person. It's seeing an imperfect person perfectly.- Sam Keen
"Love is friendship set on fire." - Jeremy Taylor
"Nobody has ever measured, even poets, how much a heart can hold." -Zelda Fitzgerald
"Love is the beauty of the soul."- St. Aurelius Augustine
If you find a quote you love or think of one yourself, write it down and text a "love quote" (the new love note) to your partner while they're at work. It's a quick, personal way to say I love you!

The first quote my husband sent to me was EE Cummings.
I Carry Your Heart with Me
i carry your heart with me(i carry it inmy heart)i am never without it(anywherei go you go,my dear;and whatever is doneby only me is your doing,my darling) i fearno fate(for you are my fate,my sweet)i wantno world(for beautiful you are my world,my true)and it's you are whatever a moon has always meantand whatever a sun will always sing is you
here is the deepest secret nobody knows(here is the root of the root and the bud of the budand the sky of the sky of a tree called life;which growshigher than soul can hope or mind can hide)and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart
i carry your heart(i carry it in my heart) -
"love knows not its own depth, till the hour of separation"
"true love can survive any amount of time or distance" -
It comes from Le Petit Prince by Antoine de St-Exupery and it translates to "And now here is my secret, a very simple secret; it is only with the heart that one can see rightly, what is essential is invisible to the eye."

How sweet! My hubby travels all the time and is a true romantic at heart too!
Men always want to be a woman's first love. Women have a more subtle instinct: What they like is to be a man's last romance.
--Oscar Wilde
Warmest regards,
Joy

Perduto è tutto il tempo
Che in amar non si spende.
It might sound tacky but I once read this quote in a cookbook (by Maggie Beer and Stephanie Alexander - Tuscan Cookbook, great cookbook and after all, a man's love goes through his stomach) and it went straight into my heart. Not only because I used to live in Florence (Italy) and have a big soft spot in my heart for everything Italian, but also because the words are written in 1573 by Torquato Tasso in the play 'Aminta' but are ever so accurate in these tweet- and textingfilled modern times, 500 years later!!!!
In translation (from Italian to Dutch to English, so please forgive an unintentional mistake): Lost is all the time, that in love you do not spend.

My most favourite ever:
This is the true measure of love, When we believe that we alone can love, That no one could ever have loved so before us, And that no one will ever love in the same way after us."
― Johann Wolfgang von Goethe -
So sweet of him! :) What a great idea about the love text, too! Am definitely going to do that for my hubby! I wrote him a list of all my favorite things about him for his birthday this year, which actually was a great exercise to remind me of all of his fantastic qualities!

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
Corinthians 13:4-7

My husband is completely unromantic but he does say that "Love is not what people think it is. Love is about toleration. Can you tolerate all the stupid stuff that the other person is going to do for the rest of your life? If the answer is yes then that is love."

My husband tells me that our lives have become one so much that thinking back he can't remember a time when I wasn't there. That even before we met I must have been there with him in spirit because we were matched for each other and connected before either of us was born

This quote isn't about the love of a spouse, but it is about love. I am currently preggers with my first child so I got baby on the brain and found this one. I don't know who said it but I love it! And since you are preggers too I thought you would enjoy it. :)
