By Unknown
These will put you in the mood for love.
Love inspires the most beautiful gestures. Love makes us starry-eyed; it makes us swoon. It makes us want to write sonnets and dance until dawn. It makes us do things that other people might even think are a little crazy (but if you've ever been in love, you'll understand). It also inspires some of the most beautiful and romantic quotes ever uttered in the English language. That's why we've rounded up the top 50 most romantic quotes for her (and him!) as uttered or written by celebrities and lovers around the world and across time.

― Sarah Dessen, The Truth About Forever

I love you simply, without problems or pride: I love you in this way because I do not know any other way of loving but this, in which there is no I or you, so intimate that your hand upon my chest is my hand, so intimate that when I fall asleep your eyes close."
― Pablo Neruda, 100 Love Sonnets

― Nicholas Sparks, The Notebook
12. "Lost love is still love. It takes a different form, that's all. You can't see their smile or bring them food or tousle their hair or move them around a dance floor.

― Mitch Albom
13. "One word
Frees us of all the weight and pain of life:
That word is love."

Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements. Lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket, safe, dark, motionless, airless, it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable. To love is to be vulnerable."
― C.S. Lewis, The Four Loves
17. "If I had a flower for every time I thought of you ... I could walk through my garden forever."

A cloak of leaves, a moonbeam ray

― Elizabeth Gilbert, Eat, Pray, Love
33. "The real lover is the man who can thrill you by kissing your forehead or smiling into your eyes or just staring into space."

34. "Only once in your life, I truly believe, you find someone who can completely turn your world around. You tell them things that you've never shared with another soul and they absorb everything you say and actually want to hear more. You share hopes for the future, dreams that will never come true, goals that were never achieved and the many disappointments life has thrown at you. The things that seem insignificant to most people such as a note, song or walk become invaluable treasures kept safe in your heart to cherish forever. Memories of your childhood come back and are so clear and vivid it's like being young again. Colors seem brighter and more brilliant. Laughter seems part of daily life where before it was infrequent or didn't exist at all. Simple things bring them to mind like a pale blue sky, gentle wind or even a storm cloud on the horizon. You open your heart knowing that there's a chance it may be broken one day and in opening your heart, you experience a love and joy that you never dreamed possible."
― Bob Marley

37. "Before you, Bella, my life was like a moonless night. Very dark, but there were stars, points of light and reason. And then you shot across my sky like a meteor. Suddenly everything was on fire; there was brilliancy, there was beauty. When you were gone, when the meteor had fallen over the horizon, everything went black. Nothing had changed, but my eyes were blinded by the light. I couldn't see the stars anymore. And there was no more reason, for anything."
― Stephenie Meyer, New Moon
38. "It isn't possible to love and part. You will wish that it was. You can transmute love, ignore it, muddle it, but you can never pull it out of you. I know by experience that the poets are right: love is eternal."
― E.M. Forster, A Room With A View

― Vladimir Nabokov, Lolita

― Simone Elkeles, Perfect Chemistry
43. "Finding someone you love and who loves you back is a wonderful, wonderful feeling. But finding a true soul mate is an even better feeling. A soul mate is someone who understands you like no other, loves you like no other, will be there for you forever, no matter what. They say that nothing lasts forever, but I am a firm believer in the fact that for some, love lives on even after we're gone."
― Cecelia Ahern, P.S. I Love You
44. "Love is a decision; it is a judgment; it is a promise. If love were only a feeling, there would be no basis for the promise to love each other forever. A feeling comes and it may go. How can I judge that it will stay forever, when my act does not involve judgment and decision."
― Erich Fromm, The Art Of Loving
45. "I loved you like a man loves a woman he never touches, only writes to, keeps little photographs of."
― Charles Bukowski, Love Is A Dog From Hell
46. "I fell in love with her courage, her sincerity, and her flaming self respect. And it's these things I'd believe in, even if the whole world indulged in wild suspicions that she wasn't all she should be. I love her and it is the beginning of everything."
― F. Scott Fitzgerald (on his wife Zelda)
47. "Then I realize what it is. It's him. Something about him makes me feel like I am about to fall. Or turn to liquid. Or burst into flames."
― Veronica Roth, Divergent
48. "Love is a temporary madness, it erupts like volcanoes and then subsides. And when it subsides, you have to make a decision. You have to work out whether your roots have so entwined together that it is inconceivable that you should ever part. Because this is what love is. Love is not breathlessness, it is not excitement, it is not the promulgation of promises of eternal passion, it is not the desire to mate every second minute of the day, it is not lying awake at night imagining that he is kissing every cranny of your body. No, don't blush, I am telling you some truths. That is just being 'in love', which any fool can do. Love itself is what is left over when being in love has burned away, and this is both an art and a fortunate accident."
― Louis de Bernières, Captain Corelli's Mandolin
49. "Love has nothing to do with what you are expecting to get—only with what you are expecting to give—which is everything."
― Katharine Hepburn, Me: Stories Of My Life
50. "I will love you always. When this red hair is white, I will still love you. When the smooth softness of youth is replaced by the delicate softness of age, I will still want to touch your skin. When your face is full of the lines of every smile you have ever smiled, of every surprise I have seen flash through your eyes, when every tear you have ever cried has left its mark upon your face,I will treasure you all the more, because I was there to see it all. I will share your life with you, Meredith, and I will love you until the last breath leaves your body or mine."
― Laurell K. Hamilton, A Lick Of Frost

50 Romantic Quotes That'll Remind You Why Love Is ALL That Matters
By Unknown
Those in the know will attest that movie sets can be boring timesucks where not very much happens on a minute-by-minute basis. There is a lot of waiting about while technical personnel mill about, getting the minutiae of their craft painstakingly right. Not for nothing did Michael Caine say: "I act for free, it's the standing around I get paid for".
That said, there is a unique and curious energy building on the set of this rom-com (or 'dramedy', as the producers prefer to call it). Much of it has to do with a cast that's not so much a who's-who as a who's-next of film. The leads, Lily Collins and Sam Claflin, are particularly earmarked for greatness.
Collins - daughter of Genesis drummer Phil - stars in the next big wallet-busting teen franchise, The Mortal Instruments. Claflin will wrap on Love, Rosie and head to the set of the next Hunger Games instalment. Love, Rosie's supporting cast are a similarly promising bunch: among them are Bradley Cooper's girlfriend Suki Waterhouse, Jaime Winstone and Tamsin Egerton (linked to actor Josh Hartnett).
And in the summer of 2013, the cast certainly made the most of their downtime in Dublin. Fans spotted the actors partying in Lillies, enjoying outdoor gigs like Justin Timberlake, and shopping on Grafton Street. But it's not just the cast of hip young gunslingers that are piquing interest. According to the film's producer Simon Brooks, the script derived from a Cecelia Ahern novel - Where Rainbows End - is not what audiences might expect.
"Apart from the fact that it's a terrific story, it was a challenge to get it adapted," he concedes. "When I acquired the script (from Ahern), we knew we didn't want a fluffy, Hollywoodised rom-com. It's a bit more 'now', edgy, current, feisty and cool. It has an independent film feel. The script is hot and cool, and the people in it are hot, young and cool."
Ahern is the queen of the high-concept novel, with ideas often ripe for the big screen treatment… but to be fair, these aren't normally the superlatives that spring to mind when considering her work. For anyone who has seen the horse & cart pile-up that was P.S. I Love You, even less so.
"I for one didn't want [the film] to be hokey or diddly-dee, so we stayed away from that," says Brooks. "P.S. I Love You was Hollywoodised; it's a great film but we wanted to be different to that. We didn't want people to think that because it was Cecelia Ahern, it's going to be a soft rom-com."
The synopsis of Love, Rosie - adapted from a book Ahern wrote, aged 22 - certainly carries the hallmark of your common-or-garden romantic film: best friends and would-be soulmates Alex (Claflin) and Rosie (Collins) get separated as teens when Alex's family moves to the US. Their friendship continues via emails and texts, while their future happiness as a couple is jeopardised by various lovers and life in general.
So far, so familiar… yet the film will at least be a departure from P.S. I Love You in one significant way: no 'begorrah' accents. Rather, the story will be set in the UK and US, despite the film being shot in Ireland and Toronto.
"In terms of shooting here, Cecelia really made a point of it being shot in Ireland, but the Irish accent was never part of the equation," explains Joanne Byrne, Ahern's longstanding publicist. "She figures that Ireland's going through a tough time, and anything that can be brought into the economy is a good thing."
Sure enough, the film has been shot in various postcard-ready locations, from Stoneybatter and George's Street Arcade to Portmarnock and Powerscourt
"What we're seeing in the rushes [film that's watched on set], I think we've got something special," she adds. "Dublin looks breathtakingly beautiful. The plan is that people will be going, 'where is that? I want to go there'."
As it happens, Ahern has been a steady, albeit largely non-intrusive presence on set, going so far as to appear as an extra in one of Love, Rosie's wedding scenes.
"She said it was the scariest thing she'd ever done," says Byrne. "When Cecelia met Sam and Lily [to start rehearsals] she got really emotional. The two actors were really surprised at her reaction, and they felt she had really embraced [the project] then. The production really wanted her to be on board with every part of it, but you have to believe you're entrusting your book to the people who know what to do with it. But Cecelia was bowled over by the script (written by Calendar Girls writer Juliette Towhidi). They really wanted to have her stamp of approval."
It was a revisiting of sorts for Ahern; after all, the novel had been written even before the media mayhem of her debut P.S. I Love You's release. "She was saying, going back into the story as a mum of two now, 'what did I know about motherhood at the age of 22? Dear God!'," adds Byrne.
In the course of the story, Collins' character Rosie becomes a mother, meaning that the character ages from 15 to her thirties. It's a tall ask for any actress, not least a dewy, doe-eyed ingénue like Collins. Standing at barely five feet tall on set in Terenure, it's safe to assume that Collins - 24 at the time of filming - will have to have had ID close to hand on any nights out in Dublin.
"I get to play a Mom!" exclaims Collins, wide-eyed. This afternoon in Terenure, she is talking to a group of assembled Irish journalists in a round-table interview in between takes during filming. She may be gracing the cover of US Glamour Magazine as we speak, but for now, she is dressed down in her standard-issue Mom costume: jumper, jeans and Uggs. "It's very strange," she muses. "I have about five different looks. I look so young anyway and so many people don't believe me as older. I guess it gives me confidence to go for roles that might be older.
"I said to my agent, 'I'd love to do a comedy', and then I was asked, 'would you like to play a Mom?' Would you like to play a British character?' And a few days later the script landed. Everything came together in a real fate way."
Curiously enough, Collins had been working as a journalist before her big break into acting, and has now found herself in the position of gamekeeper turned poacher. With bylines in Teen Vogue, Seventeen and the Los Angeles Times magazine, Lily came to a fork in the road and had to choose between the two.
"There was a point when I was interviewing people I had worked with or wanted to work with, and I was worried they wouldn't believe me as a character," she explains. "I still love writing for magazines and asking questions, and I may come back to it someday."
Not that it looks likely to happen anytime soon. During our set visit, we are reminded on more than one occasion that we are in a somewhat fortunate position to be accessing both Collins and Claflin, even for a 20-minute round table interview. "This time next year, there will be no getting near them," Byrne assures us. But in the summer of 2013, they can walk around Grafton Street largely unobstructed: "In fact, Tamsin's boyfriend Josh [Hartnett] got more hassle than any of them," adds Byrne.
"I went out with [Love/Hate actor] Killian Scott and everyone was more into him," laughs Claflin. "I've been lucky with the paparazzi on my time off. Those who get their lives invaded by press, they go out looking for it. They go into supermarkets with sunglasses on with three security guards. If you walk around unassuming, it's more like, 'he looks a bit like that guy'."
For now, both actors are working on an intimate set that's a million miles away from the Hollywood soundstages they're fast becoming used to.
"It feels more personal to have a smaller crew and less shooting days, and people are here because they love the script and story," says Collins. "It's not that it's not there [on Hollywood films], but the idea to go off the page and collaborate is a lot more. It's so calm yet everything gets done. I don't understand how everything gets done. Sometimes I'm freaking out and it's like, 'well no one else is, so why am I freaking out?'"
Adds Claflin: "You get to learn everyone's names on a set like this. On the bigger sets with 700 crew members and 600 extras, every day there's someone new. Here, it's family orientated."
Another thing that bodes well for Love, Rosie is the pair's easygoing chemistry as actors. They have been filming together for a month, and have their own affable, charming dynamic. As it happens, both are in relationships with other actors at the time of filming: he with Inbetweeners star Laura Haddock; she with her Mortal Instruments co-star Jamie Campbell Bower. In the months since then, Claflin has married Haddock, while Collins split from Campbell Bower not long after wrapping on Love, Rosie. But during the shoot, both Claflin and Collins need to negotiate the perils of geographical distance in their own relationship, much like their Love, Rosie characters.
"I grew up with distance in my family," notes Collins. "Growing up in England, moving to LA, having siblings in Vancouver and other family in Switzerland, distance doesn't effect emotional distance for me. Be it phonecalls while travelling or emails or Skype, we made it work and I wouldn't have had my childhood any other way. Physical distance is not a negative thing… in fact, missing someone is kind of what makes that relationship stronger."
Claflin feels the distance while he's filming in Ireland a bit more acutely: "I do go away and start a new job and meet new people, and you throw yourself within that job. You miss that other person but you don't allow yourself the time to mope around. When we're together, we're inseparable. I'm a very different person on set than at home. I'm very boring and grumpy at home."
It's hardly the admission of a heartthrob-in-waiting. But as Collins and Claflin are whisked away after our allotted time, there's a definite sense that these are two actors that are going places. Whether Love, Rosie will be a blip on their stellar CVs or the breakthrough indie sleeper hit that gives their acting careers some texture… well, much like Alex and Rosie's fate as star-crossed lovers, it all remains to be seen.

25 Of The Most Beautifully Inspiring Quotes On Love
By Unknown
What happens to your relationships when your emotional perception changes overnight? Because I’m autistic, I have always been oblivious to unspoken cues from other people. My wife, my son and my friends liked my unflappable demeanor and my predictable behavior. They told me I was great the way I was, but I never really agreed.
For 50 years I made the best of how I was, because there was nothing else I could do. Then I was offered a chance to participate in a study at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, a teaching hospital of Harvard Medical School. Investigators at the Berenson-Allen Center there were studying transcranial magnetic stimulation, or T.M.S., a noninvasive procedure that applies magnetic pulses to stimulate the brain. It offers promise for many brain disorders. Several T.M.S. devices have been approved by the Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of severe depression, and others are under study for different conditions. (It’s still in the experimental phase for autism.) The doctors wondered if changing activity in a particular part of the autistic brain could change the way we sense emotions. That sounded exciting. I hoped it would help me read people a little better.
They say, be careful what you wish for. The intervention succeeded beyond my wildest dreams — and it turned my life upside down. After one of my first T.M.S. sessions, in 2008, I thought nothing had happened. But when I got home and closed my eyes, I felt as if I were on a ship at sea. And there were dreams — so real they felt like hallucinations. It sounds like a fairy tale, but the next morning when I went to work, everything was different. Emotions came at me from all directions, so fast that I didn’t have a moment to process them.
Before the T.M.S., I had fantasized that the emotional cues I was missing in my autism would bring me closer to people. The reality was very different. The signals I now picked up about what my fellow humans were feeling overwhelmed me. They seemed scared, alarmed, worried and even greedy. The beauty I envisioned was nowhere to be found.
Seeing emotion didn’t make my life happy. It scared me, as the fear I felt in others took hold in me, too. As exciting as my new sensory ability was, it cost me customers at work, when I felt them looking at me with contempt. It spoiled friendships when I saw teasing in a different and nastier light. It even ruined memories when I realized that people I remembered as funny were really making fun of me.
And the hardest thing: It cost me a marriage. When I met my former wife (a decade before the T.M.S.), she was seriously depressed. She’d accepted my autistic even keel, and I accepted her often quiet sadness. I never really felt her depression, so we complemented each other. She could read other people much better than I could, and I relied on her for that.
Then came the T.M.S. With my newfound ability I imagined myself joyfully shedding a cloak of disability. I thought she would be happy, but instead she said matter of factly, “You won’t need me anymore.” My heart hurt, and I felt unspeakably sad. Later, people at work told me they’d liked me better the way I was before.
I’d lived with my wife’s chronic depression all those years because I did not share it. After the T.M.S., I felt the full force of her sadness, and the weight of it dragged me under. At the same time, I felt this push to use my new superpower, to go out in the world and engage with other people, now that I could read their emotions. When I think about the way my behavior must have appeared to the strangers I encountered, I cringe.
Normally people change in a marriage, over time. What happens when one person changes overnight? We were divorced a year after the T.M.S. experiments began. After the divorce, I embarked on a disastrous relationship with someone who could not have been more different, and I was devastated when that, too, fell apart. I learned the hard way that emotional insight allowed me to see some things, but another person’s true intent and commitment remained inscrutable.
After some initial tumult, the changes in me proved transformational at work. My ability to engage casual friends and strangers was enhanced. But with family and close friends, the results were more mixed. I found myself unsettled by absorbing the emotions of people I was close to, something that had never happened before. Strong emotional reactions welled up in me, and I showed feelings I had never expressed.
It took me five years to find a new balance and stability. In that time, my sense that I could see into people’s souls faded. Yet the experience left me forever changed. Before the T.M.S., discussions of emotions were like cruel taunts to me; it was as if someone were describing beautiful color to a person who saw in black and white. Then, in an instant, the scientists turned on color vision. Even though that vision faded, the memory of its full brilliance will remain with me always.
I’m married again, to someone who’s emotionally insightful. To my amazement, she became best friends with my first wife, and helped me reconnect with my son. She started a tradition of family dinners and gatherings, and brought new warmth into my life. Even more, she helped me become part of a web of emotional connectedness I’d never known before, and surely could not have known pre-T.M.S.
That really shines through in my relationship with my son. We had grown apart before the T.M.S. through a combination of his teenage rebellion and our mutual inability to read each other’s feelings. (My son is on the autism spectrum, too.) We joined the T.M.S. study together, and it became a powerful shared experience. Even as the T.M.S. effects pushed my ex-wife and me apart, they drew my son and me together. The T.M.S. also helped me understand my mother, in the last years of her life.
I’ve made new friends, and built a stronger business. And there’s something else: I’ve learned that the grass is not always greener when it comes to emotional vision. For much of my life, I’d imagined I was handicapped by emotional blindness. When that changed, seeing into other people was overwhelming. Becoming “typical” proved to be the thing that was truly crippling for me. Now I realize that my differences make me who I am — success and failure alike. I’d call that hard-won wisdom.
