Inspirational Love Quotes to Make You Feel Loved 🙂
As a romance author, I am constantly scouring the internet for beautiful and inspirational love quotes. I figure if I can get enough love inside me, then it will come out when I write my books. And do you know what? It works! Here are some of my favourite inspirational love quotes – the ones that make me feel totally happy and uplifted. Which one makes you feel the most loved?
No. 1 – Melvin Udall, As Good As It Gets
“You make me want to be a better man.” Awwww … Now just to be clear, these quotes aren’t in any particular order. It’s not like a top ten or anything, so this isn’t my very very favourite no.1 quote, but I do like it a lot. Sweet.
No. 2 – A. A. Milne
“Promise me you’ll never forget me because if I thought you would, I’d never leave.” Very very lovely. He wrote Winnie the Pooh, right? The soppy old so and so …
No. 3 – Alfred Tennyson
“If I had a flower for every time I thought of you … I could walk through my garden forever.” Us ladies like flowers, right? Well … some of us. Either way, it’s a lovely quote.
No. 4 – Andre Maurois
“A happy marriage is a long conversation which always seems too short.” Personally, speaking from my happy marriage, sometimes a long conversation is way too long. Especially when it involves football. But I like the sentiment. It makes me feel warm inside.

No. 9 – David Meurer
“A great marriage is not when the ‘perfect couple’ come together. It is when an imperfect couple learns to enjoy their differences.” Wise words – my husband and I are so imperfect it’s ridiculous. We are literally opposites in everything, but that’s what makes us good for each other 🙂
