LoveQuoter.com is an online collection of the best love quotes.

Love is the strongest of all emotions. It can overcome hatred and fear. It can lead us to perform acts of selflessness and devotion. And it can lead us to ruin.
Love is also the most complicated of all emotions. It has many shades and hues, it can change over time. Love can be born at first sight, and sometimes it can die in an instant of betrayal. See [Wikipedia, Science of Love]
The ancient Greeks had many different words for love, to describe each of its different incarnations. And throughout the ages, poets, lovers, and thinkers have tried to capture the essence of love in all its different forms.
Love has always been the favourite topic of poets. Almost every poem ever written deals with love, or its absence, in some way. From poems celebrating love in all its forms, to those lamenting the pain of unrequited love, love poems offer a window onto love and can touch your soul in a way no other written or spoken words can.
A beautiful love poem can express in a few words and capture the essence of feelings that may have taken years to grow.
The right love poem can communicate to your beloved exactly how you feel. It is perhaps a symbol of how love is universal, that a poem written 200 years ago can often capture exactly how you feel.
Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind.
And therefore is winged cupid painted blind. -- William Shakespeare
Whatever some lovers may sometimes say, love does not always abhor a secret, as nature is said to abhor a vacuum. Love is built upon secrets, as lovely Venice upon invisible and incorruptible piles in the sea. Love's secrets, being mysteries, ever pertain to the transcendent and to the infinite; and so they are as airy bridges, by which our further shadows pass over into the regions of the golden mists and exhalations; whence all poetical, lovely thoughts are engenderedm and drop into us, as though pearls should drop from rainbows. -- Melville.
Mysterious love, uncertain treasure,
Hast thou more pain or pleasure!
Endless torments dwell about thee:
Yet who would love, and live without thee! -- Addison
