Greatest Love Quotesof All Time

Love has been written about for as long as people have written anything, and this book gathers more than 200 of the lines that lasted. Plato and Aristotle are in here. So are Charles Dickens, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Marilyn Monroe and Audrey Hepburn — philosophers and film stars in the same collection.

There is no order to work through. Open the book anywhere, read a page, and put it down. Some of the quotes are a single line. Some take a moment to sit with. A few you will already know and be glad to find again, among them “The best thing to hold onto in life is each other.”

It suits a reader who likes having good words to hand: for their own reading, or for the moments when something needs to be said and nothing comes.
