What is Love? How would you explain it? What is the essence of Love? Why do we fall in Love? These are the questions which are little hard to explain for a layman like you and me.
Not that we don't know what Love is.
We all had fallen in Love at one or other point.
But we find it difficult to articulate our feelings and knowledge in words like those poets, writers, philosophers do.
And perhaps that's the reason we are memorized whenever we read those famous love quotations and sayings.
Read the following captivating quotes on love written by famous authors and jazz up your love life a bit.

• If you love someone, you couldn't let lies come between you.
  No matter what happened - even if you'd already lost each other forever - you owed each other the truth.
  Claudia Gray

Truth is the foundation of love.
Any relationship formed on the basis of lie won't go long away.
It will shatter soon.
If you truly love someone and want your relationship to last for a long term, never say a bit of lie to your beloved.
Whatever the truth is delicate or sensitive convey it to your partner.
Don't hide it.
If you hide one truth you've to tell so many other lies to keep your one lie hide.
This, in turn, brings about misunderstandings, confusions and conflicts which can wreak havoc on your relationship.
Therefore, always speak truth.

• Love is not love that alters when it alteration finds.
  William Shakespeare

True Love remains constant through any difficulties.
You may change over the time, your partner may change over the time, circumstances may change over the time but love does not change.
It remains unchanged whatsoever.
And If it does, it is not true love.

• Love is always open arms.
  If you close your arms about love you will find that you are left holding only yourself.
  Leo Buscaglia

Freedom is extremely important in any relationship.
It is very unlikely that your relationship will go for a long time unless there is freedom in it.
Let your partner do what he wants to do.
Let him/her do the things which he/she likes to do.
Don't control him/her.
Don't ask him/her to what to do and what not to do, for if you do your partner will get annoyed and you will get disappointed as well.
In the beginning, though, your partner might change his preference according to you but for how much time - a day, a week or might be a month but no more than that.
Eventually he/she will get pissed off and your relationship will break off.
So better let your partner follow his/her own path.

• Grow Old with me; the best is yet to be.
  Robert Browning
