Love brings up emotions that run the gamut from agony to ecstasy. Love can inspire us to accomplish some of the craziest and most amazing feats. Here’s the thing about love: It’s hard to put into words, but these 50 cute love quotes and love phrases make saying what you’re really feeling to your partner a whole lot easier.
1. “You two are too cute,” the counter girl said, setting two cups piled with whipped cream on the counter. She had a sort of lopsided, open smile that made me think she laughed a lot. “Seriously. How long have you been going out?”Sam let go of my hands to get his wallet and took out some bills. “Six years.”I wrinkled my nose to cover a laugh. Of course he would count the time that we’d been two entirely different species.Whoa.” Counter girl nodded appreciatively. “That’s pretty amazing for a couple your age.”Sam handed me my hot chocolate and didn’t answer. But his yellow eyes gazed at me possessively—I wondered if he realized that the way he looked at me was far more intimate than copping a feel could ever be.I crouched to look at the almond bark on the bottom shelf in the counter. I wasn’t quite bold enough to look at either of them when I admitted, “Well, it was love at first sight.”The girl sighed. “That is just so romantic. Do me a favor, and don’t you two ever change. The world needs more love at first sight.”― Maggie Stiefvater

I barely know you and I’m crammed up against you in a box, Four, what do you think?”…”Maybe you were cut out for Candor,” he says, “because you’re a terrible liar.”― Veronica Roth
3. “One of the most spiritual things you can do is embrace your humanity. Connect with those around you today. Say, “I love you”, “I’m sorry”, “I appreciate you”, “I’m proud of you”…whatever you’re feeling. Send random texts, write a cute note, embrace your truth and share it…cause a smile today for someone else…and give plenty of hugs.”― Steve Maraboli
4. “We don’t read and write poetry because it’s cute. We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race. And the human race is filled with passion. And medicine, law, business, engineering, these are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life. But poetry, beauty, romance, love, these are what we stay alive for. To quote from Whitman, “O me! O life!… of the questions of these recurring; of the endless trains of the faithless… of cities filled with the foolish; what good amid these, O me, O life?” Answer. That you are here – that life exists, and identity; that the powerful play goes on and you may contribute a verse. That the powerful play *goes on* and you may contribute a verse. What will your verse be?”― N.H. Kleinbaum
5. “Adrian smiled and clasped my hands, taking a few steps toward me. “And as for who you are, you’re the same beautiful, brave, and ridiculously smart caffeinated fighter you’ve been since the day I met you.” Finally, he put “beautiful” at the top of his list of adjectives.

7. “You know,” he said, “under normal circumstances, you inviting me to the bedroom would be the highlight of my day.”I crossed my arms and sat on the bed.

Does he wear anything? I jumped up.”― Richelle Mead

13. “You know the Prince song where the girl’s phone rings but she tells him, “whoever’s calling couldn’t be as cute as you?” I long to live out this moment in real life.”― Rob Sheffield
14. “He’s all right. His hair is cute.”Jonas froze, his lobster fork halfway to his mouth. ” Oh my God, you’re in love.” “I’m not in love.” “‘his hair is cute’? You never say anything nice about anyone. Coming from you, cute hair is a mating call.” ” I talked to the guy for thirty seconds. And then he waved at me while i was in the tank.” “Holy fuck, you’re getting married, aren’t you!” ” Will you simmer. I certainly am not.” ― MaryJanice Davidson

I may be a little bit mad, but I’m a good girl, and honest, and I work hard, I’m kind of cute, I have nice boobs, I’m a good cook, and my father left me a trust fund.

25. “Why do you flirt with Mr. Daimler? He’s a perv, you know.” I’m so surprised by the question it takes me a second to answer. “Mr. Daimler is not a perv.” “Trust me, he is.” “Jealous?” “Hardly.” “I don’t flirt with him, anyway.” Kent rolls his eyes. “Sure.” I shrug my shoulders. “Why so interested?” Kent goes red and drops his eyes to the floor. “No reason,” he mumbles.” ― Lauren Oliver
26. “I rolled my eyes. “For defending my honor, you dullard.” He yanked me beneath a shadowed awning. I had a moment’s panic when I thought he’d spotted trouble, but then his arms were around me and his lips were pressed to mine.

Wouldn’t it look splendid, releasing a few dozen white doves all at once to carry our message of hope and love up to –” “Your are so full of shit.” But she started laughing. “Doves, sure. Our guests would love some flying hors d’oeuvres.

The moth who revels in the heat and declares:
Burn me.”― Kamand Kojouri

34. “We have more patience for girls who act like boys than boys who act like girls. A tomboy is considered cute. One day she’ll shuck her muddy jeans and put on a dress, and everyone will gasp at her beauty. They’ll all laugh about her tree-climbing, frog-catching days. But there’s no such tolerance for the boy who puts on a dress, who wants a toy kitchen or a baby doll to love. Jung would say that this is because, even culturally, our anima is repressed, hated, derided. We hate our female selves. A boyish girl is perfectly acceptable. A girlish boy? Not so much. In certain places, you’d get your ass kicked, find yourself “gay-bashed.” You might even get yourself killed. That’s how much we hate our anima.”― Lisa Unger
35. “He drinks his coffee tentatively, glancing at me every few seconds, watching me. Every time he glances in my direction, I quickly turn away though he obviously knows I’m watching him.

37. “I don’t understand why everyone loves you and feels this need to protect me against you or warn me against you.” It was insulting, to tell the truth. Everyone just assumed she’d roll over… “Everyone just automatically assumes that you’re after me and that I’m going to fall for you. It’s insulting.”― Tijan
38. “All this waiting. Waiting for the rain to stop. Waiting in traffic. Waiting for the bill. Waiting at the airport for an old friend. Waiting to depart. Then, there’s the big waiting: waiting to grow up. Waiting for love. Waiting to show your parents that when youhave kids you’ll be different.Waiting to retire. Waiting for death. Why do we think waiting is the antithesis of life when it is almost
all of it?”― Kamand Kojouri

41. “You need to eat more.” (…) “Then I’d get fat, and you wouldn’t like me.” Johnny tweaked her nose in teasing response and shifted her into a more comfortable position with her back against his chest.

Rachel, spellbound, cast a sideways glance up and back to find that his eyes on her face were as bright and hot as the clear August sky overhead. “You still don’t get it, do you, teacher? I’d like you any way I could get you, any way at all. Besides, I bet you’d be cute fat. A little round dumpling.”― Karen Robards
42. “She was in awe of all his work. ‘How do you do it?” she asked. He smiled and said, ‘By loving you.”― Kamand Kojouri

44. “What is your preference?” She felt nearly sick asking this question. “My preference is to pack you in my suitcase,but those TSA people are so picky,and there’s some kind of stupid regulation about human trafficing and-” “Justin. This is serious.” ― Jessica Park
45. “Oh, please,” said Simon. “All I did was tell you the entire plot if Star Wars” “I don’t think I remember that,” said Isabelle, taking a cookie from the plate on the table. “Oh, yeah? Who was Luke Skywalker’s best childhood friend?” “Biggs Darklighter,” Isabelle said immediately, and hit the table with the flat of her hand. “That is so cheating!” Still, she grinned at him around her cookie. “Ah,” said Magnus. “Nerd love. It is a beautiful thing…” ― Cassandra Clare
46. “Spiritualists believe that a cockroach has a soul, just like a human, and is therefore every bit as worthy of life and love. I reject that idea entirely, but respect the cockroach, and every animal on the spectrum of appreciation between us, not because it has a soul, but because you, human, do not have a soul either, and are every bit as pointless, mindless and in the great scheme of things worthless as the cockroach. The only difference is that you choose to veil your tyranny, your obsession, your anger, your loneliness and your bestiality beneath a vague fantasy you call “love” to protect your frail belief in your own divinity. Only when the lights are off, or when protected by the sanctity of cute romances or adorable titles such as “mother” and “father” do you show how hideous you truly are. Wake up, animal, chaos is the only God.” ― Max Davine
47. “I love you like the 21 letters of the Alphabet.” “No stupid, there’s 26 letters.” “Oh yeah! U R A Q T! (You Are A CuTee)”― Tamjid Ahmed
48. “Being submissive isn’t cute, Unless it’s behind close doors And you like being on all fours For your man …or woman Then you do you.” ― Musa M.
49. “I never thought I’d find you catching prey for Sandstorm. Special to you, is she?” “I don’t know what you are talking about,” Fireheart protested. His fur suddenly felt hot and prickled as if ants were crawling through it. “Sandstorm is just a friend.” Graystripe let out a putt of amusement. “Oh sure, if you say so.” He strolled up the slope and lowered his head to butt Fireheart affectionately on the shoulder. “You’re lucky, Fireheart. She’s a very impressive cat.” Fireheart opened his mouth and then closed it again. Graystripe wouldn’t be convinced no matter what he said – and besides, maybe he was right.” ― Erin Hunter
50. “Well then, those folks are judgmental assholes,” Liv spat. “You’re more than a fucking label, Z. You’re an amazing chef, a mediocre bassist, and you’ve got this dorky way of scratching the back of your head whenever you talk about anything personal, which isn’t often, but holy hell is it cute. I know you way better than any of those folks casting stones do, and I adore everything you are, Zane Parata.”― Katherine McIntyre
51. It was hard to imagine I would ever walk down the aisle again. It was like a death in the family: You go through the mourning stage, then the rebellion, and then all of a sudden you have to find life by yourself. Once you do that, you feel complete—and that’s the only time you can truly fall in love again, and give yourself over completely to another person.”–Jessica Simpson
