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.

Funny quotes on love.

Sometimes love has us tied up in knots. It frequently has us confused. When the going gets rough — or simply too wonderful to stand — the only device left is laughter. Funny quotes on love give us the chance to release some of that nervous energy and touch on some of the quirky things about this shared experience.

Funny love quotes are often seen often in cards and letters on Valentine’s Day. They’re also passed around social media. You can also use them on banners and posters, too, because it’s worth making a show of getting a laugh.

“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.

Love is never lost. If not reciprocated, it will flow back and soften and purify the heart.”

When one is in love, one always begins by deceiving oneself, and one always ends by deceiving others.”
Oscar Wilde
Love is a smoke made with the fume of sighs.”
William Shakespeare
Love is a thing full of anxious fears.”
Ovid
Love is a canvas furnished by nature and embroidered by imagination.”
Voltaire
The course of true love never did run smooth.”
William Shakespeare
Love is the wisdom of the fool and the folly of the wise.”
Samuel Johnson
Love is a familiar; love is a devil. There is no evil angel but Love.”

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 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?

Adobe Express can help.

Adobe Express has templates and customization tools to put your favorite love quotes to work. If you want to use love quotes in cards, letters, posters, banners, collages, or other creative projects, Adobe Express makes it as simple as picking a template and personalizing it, or making your own idea with easy-to-use tools. Whatever message you want to create, Adobe Express brings it to life, no experience required.
