Love & Marriage Quotes

Humans are born with a need to be free, loved, and secure. Some people are fortunate enough to find love, while others may search their whole lives to never find that one true love. Love is as unique as every individual that ever experiences it, making the definition a little difficult to describe.

A basic definition for true love:  Unconditional pure love in its simplest form. True love comes with no strings attached. You truly love someone without expecting anything in return, you love that individual for who they are.

People that have a difficult time putting their feelings into words, or enjoy making their own personalized greeting cards, quotes can help you find something that suits different people or occasions. With Valentine's Day coming up, why not pick out a great love quote for your special someone....
