If it’s not clear from my poetry: I am in love with love. Call me crazy, call me a fool, unrealistic, a dreamer, I don’t care. It’s what 7 billion people aspire to have, and what Taylor Swift has spent her ‘whole life trying to put into words’. And no wonder. I think it’s one of the hardest things to write about. While I find it so easy to write about heartbreak, love is so abstract, it’s hard to know what words to use to do it justice. So when someone does manage to sum it up in a beautiful way, I hold on tight.
So, without further ado, these are my top 10 favourite quotes about love, which I think just about do it justice.
