11 Pinterest-Worthy Quotes About Love
When I'm scrolling through Pinterest on my phone late at night because I can't fall asleep, I'm usually looking for new outfit ideas, recipes, or nail art tutorials that I'll probably never do. Occasionally, a sappy quote about love or breakups will catch my eye, and I'll be like, "Oh, that's really poignant" or "Oh, that's really insipid" and then keep pinning tiny cupcakes and impractical shoes. Sometimes I'll stop and think about it, although I'd much rather gather meaning and inspiration from books, poetry, or song lyrics than from context-less, often anonymous words.
But (and you know there's a but, since this whole post is about love quotes) a lot of quotes have stood the test of time and are inspiring even when we don't always know the context in which they were said. The words are so true that you can't help but think, "Wow, this is perfect. It's something I've always felt, but haven't been able to verbalize." Once in a while, I definitely have moments like that. Here are a few examples of famous love quotes that are worth staying up all night and pinning.
