I Love You Quotes

“For, you see, each day I love you more, today more than yesterday
and less than tomorrow.”
~ Rosemonde Gerard (1871-1953)

"The simplest things in life are so often the most precious. "I love you" are just three simple words that break all concept of time and space. They can't be bought and are freely given, but they do come at the expense of revealing tenderness, emotion and vulnerability.

We all crave to have these words said with truth, substance and meanining. Yet how often do we want to say "I love you" but justify ourselves out of it, whether it be to our partner, our child, our parent or even our mates?

Even the seeminly most self-sufficient, unexpressive or unemotional person craves to know that others genuinely care and that their life means something to those around them! Why not swallow your pride or shake yourself free from the excuses of insecurity or lack of confidence, and take the chance! We only get one life - better lived in its fullness of self-expression, than hiding feelings away that no-one will ever know."
