There's a reason why love is the preferred topic of everyone from philosophers to poets, and it's the same reason why romantic movies, songs, and books are so enduringly popular. As the following best love quotes show, there is no better, more powerful emotion in the whole, wide world than being in love. And no matter which of the five love languages you use with your honey, from words of affirmation (expressions of encouragement) to acts of service (helping with chores), it's important to share those beautiful feelings with them upon occasion.

After all, as Henry David Thoreau once said, "There is no remedy for love but to love more."
