Albus Dumbledore once told a troubled Harry, “Words are, in my not-so-humble opinion, our most inexhaustible source of magic; capable of both inflicting injury, and remedying it.”
This has been my favorite quote since the day I read it. Words have always been a refuge to everyone, especially people tending to a heartbreak searching for hope amidst all the pain. I would know because I did the same. Words helped me translate all my pain into meaningful sentences. I am not one of those who keeps their books neat and tidy, they are always marked with pen, pencil, highlighters. So, I can go back to the words that makeme feel something whenever I wish too. So, I compiled a list that contains ten of my favorite quotes from literature for the romantic in you.
When it comes to romance, nobody does it better than Pablo Neruda. From love poems to love quotes, he has everything to swoon the romantic in you. The way he makes being different okay and acceptable through this one is just beautiful.
I can go on record and say that Stardust is one of the finest love stories I have read. Neil Gaiman is one of the finest storytellers you would read and this adult fairytale would take you on a ride.
The best thing about literature is, it can say the biggest of things in the smallest of ways; and that’s what Nicole Krauss does here defining exactly what love feels like. If you finding your directions to a man’s heart, words will do the trick for you.
Another one of the categories of simple yet powerful ways to show how much a person can love someone. An embrace was all it took.
To be honest, I was never able to complete Les Misérable but some of the quotes are still scribbled into my journal. How subtly but strongly this quote represents the power of love.
And when you are talking about romance, who would forget to quote John Green. He’s one of personal favorite because of the way he makes tragedy seem beautiful.
In my honest opinion, truer words couldn’t have been said with respect to love. And every one of you who have experienced love more than once would agree with this.
Nicholas Sparks has taught an entire generation what romance means. He may be referred to as the dictionary of romance. Not quoting him would be a sin here. There would hardly be any book of his, that I haven’t read. And who could miss the timeless classic from him ‘The Notebook’. Here’s one of the many amazing quotes from it.
Albert Camus is no romance writer but he will definitely teach you a thing or two if you read him well. In such simple words, he defines the pain of heartbreak.
