Six years ago, I created a homemade book for my wife with all these quotes about Love from our favorite TV Shows and movies and books and then I added to it great quotes about love from history or just great quotes about love from anyone. For the past five years, I’ve shared a few from the book around the holidays.

Family isn’t always blood. It’s the people in your life who want you in theirs;
The ones who accept you for who you are.
The ones who would do anything to see you smile
And who love you no matter what.

If she’s amazing, she won’t be easy. If she’s easy, she won’t be amazing. If she’s worth it, you won’t give up. If you give up, you’re not worthy.
Truth is, everybody is going to hurt you; you just gotta find the ones worth suffering for.
Bob Marley, Guitar Chord Songbook – Bob Marley

I’d rather have bad times with you, than good times with someone else.
I’d rather be beside you in a storm, than safe and warm by myself.
I’d rather have hard tomes together, than to have it easy apart.
I’d rather have the one who holds my heart.
