The following is a list of short quotes about love. Although love quotes might not seem to be related to the theme of this site, I decided to put this list together because one, it’s Valentines, and two, we all know love can be a powerful motivator for many people. Beautiful works of art have been created in the name of love and unfortunately, even war. This emotion can cause people to feel pure bliss but it can also make people feel like all hope is lost. Love is an important part of life, it’s part of what gives life meaning.
