- Love is wanting everything for a person, but nothing from a person.
- Love is an end in and of itself. We don't obtain love to obtain anything else; we obtain other things to obtain love.
- Love is a driving five hours to see someone for one hour.
- Love is taking the long way home intentionally.
- Love is encouraging them to date someone who isn't you if it means they'll be happier.
- Love is helping someone help herself.
- Love is not just tolerating all those little quirks and awful moments, but actually kind of enjoying them.
- Love is not sitting on the sidelines and watching it all happen.
- Love is not letting the contradictions turn you off.
- Love is making the effort to understand someone.
- Love is getting out of bed at 3 a.m. to drive them somewhere you wish they didn't go.
- Love is accepting they need more than you. Love is being okay with that, yet still waiting patiently for when needed.
- Love is something you don't run out of by giving it away. Quoth Mrs. Jewls: "Love is different from most things. If I gave my piece of chalk to someone, then I wouldn't have it anymore. But when I give my love to someone, I end up with more than I started with. The more love you give away, the more you have left."
- Love is not caring if your loved one has three ears.
- Love is giving, knowing and accepting you may never get what you gave back. Selfishness and self-comfort be damned. This person is more important to you than you are to yourself.
- Love is every little thing being a big deal.
- Love is what you realize you have once you've stayed up for three days hoping someone will call you back, agonized over the realization that they mean more to you than the other way around, decided you may be better off not trying to pursue their returned affection, learning something profound, and then forgetting all of that the moment they finally text you back. Screw being intelligent or practical. Let's be in love instead.
- Love is going all out.
- Love is not needing to go all out anymore (but still enjoying doing it anyway on occasion).
- Love is taking risks and putting it all on the line.
- Love is putting yourself in danger for her sake.
- Love is never needing a "Thank You." The smile is more than good enough.
- Love is a lot of that stuff that 1 Corinthians says. Really, all of it. It's cliched for a reason. Love is patient, love is kind, love does not envy or boast. Love hopes all things and endures all things.
- Love is realizing there are bigger things in this world than living for ourselves and our own story to tell.
- Love is unreasonable, unreturned loyalty.
- Love is silly and illogical, yet fantastic. You'll rip your hair out at its hardships but still prefer it over anything else.
- Love is unconditional acceptance.
