Quotes I love!

Or rather, lovely love quotes!

I wouldn't call myself a cynic, because I'm really not. Yet, despite being a romantic, I have never been entirely keen on Valentine's Day. I believe you can show your appreciation for your partner, and celebrate love all year round.

But, as it is Valentine's Day tomorrow, I thought I should do a post that at least links to the day. So, I am going to share some of my favourite romance - film, and book - quotes with you.

Films:-

"Marry me Margaret, because I would really like to date you." Andrew - Ryan Reynolds - The Proposal.

“You were the love of my long life.” Mitchell – Adrian Turner - Being Human

“I love that you get cold when it's 71 degrees out. I love that it takes you an hour and a half to order a sandwich. I love that you get a little crinkle above your nose when you're looking at me like I'm nuts. I love that after I spend the day with you, I can still smell your perfume on my clothes. And I love that you are the last person I want to talk to before I go to sleep at night. And it's not because I'm lonely, and it's not because it's New Year's Eve. I came here tonight because when you realise you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible.” Harry – Billy Crystal - When Harry met Sally


I love Smallville! I love Chloe & Oliver:-

"Oliver... I never thought I'd have to tell you how I feel about us, because the smile on my lips when I looked at you... pretty much said it all. But now that you won't be seeing it anymore, I'll have to use words to tell you. I've never loved anyone the way I've loved you. And I never will again. You will always be my brightest star, my knight in shining leather, my hero." Chloe Sullivan – Alison Mac - Smallville


Classic Books:-

“Sometimes I have the strangest feeling about you. Especially when you are near me as you are now. It feels as though I had a string tied here under my left rib where my heart is, tightly knotted to you in a similar fashion. And when you go to Ireland, with all that distance between us, I am afraid that this cord will be snapped, and I shall bleed inwardly.” Mr Rochester - Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte

“My love for Linton is like the foliage in the woods: time will change it, I'm well aware, as winter changes the trees. My love for Heathcliff is the eternal rock beneath: a source of little visible delight, but necessary. Nelly, I am Heathcliff.” Cathy - Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte


Two of my fave Alpha’s from my two fave Series:-

“I worry something will happen and I won’t be there and you’ll be gone. I worry we won’t ever get a chance and it’s driving me out of my skull.” Curran - Magic Bleeds by Ilona Andrews

“No more excuses, Mercy. You are mine, and I am keeping you.” Adam - Iron Kissed by Patricia Briggs

Now to gush over my own characters quotes:-

“Do you truly feel that she is worth your wings?”

 “What good are my wings, friend, when I can hold the world in my arms?” Kale - The Collector, by Elizabeth Morgan

"I love you, Clare Marie Walker, but I swear to god if you ever make me go through this again, I will kill you myself." Owen MacLaren - She-Wolf by Elizabeth Morgan

Those are just the first lot that spring to mind. I can assure you that I could probably pick a quote from every book, song, and romantic movie that I own, but I will stick with these gushy/cheesy/romantic and wonderful quotes for now.

So, what are your fave quotes? What are the lines that have made you go “aww” and wish you were on the receiving end of such a conversation?

  2. I love Mr Rochester from Jane Eyre. *le swoon* He's so yummy.

    You can't work tomorrow, hun. You need to relax, have a few chocolates read a book, and watch a soppy movie. ;-)

  3. Lol! Mr Rochester may actually have been the first man in a book I ever had a crush on ... OR the professor from Jo's Boys (Little Women series) - he was so with it, sophisticated and kind, plus, the big mansion...

    Spesh dinner planned tomorrow night -- not sure about day plans yet. My fictional angels will have to wait for me, while I take care of my real-life angel :)

    You have any plans?
