Some quotes are forgotten; while others go on to make history. Some become so famous that they acquire the status of platitudes. These platitudes then go on to become adages. Here are a few famous quotes about love that have become legends in their own right.
Rabindranath Tagore
'I seem to have loved you in numberless forms, numberless times, in life after life, in age after age forever.'
Emily Dickinson
'That love is all there is,
Is all we know of love.'

William Shakespeare

With a love that shall not die

And the stars grow old.'
