- Find me now. Before someone else does. — Haruki Murakami
When I read this sentence, a girl with a white veil appears in my mind, slowly turning her head, longing for love but not knowing who that person is. I believe everyone has moments of confusion like this, believing in love yet feeling hazy. It seems there is a voice in our hearts telling us, “Find me quickly.”
2
- I love you for all that you are, all that you have been, all that you’re yet to be. — Ernest Hemingway
Hemingway’s confession is like an unfinished biography: love is flipping through a person’s past, gazing at the present, yet still willing to leave blank pages for the unknown chapters.
3
- Love is just a word until someone comes along and gives it meaning. — Paulo Coelho
The most paradoxical charm of love lies in the fact that it is the most abstract symbol in the dictionary, yet it gains touch, scent, and temperature because of a specific person.
4
- I love you not only for what you are, but for what I am when I am with you. — Roy Croft

- To love is to recognize yourself in another. — Eckhart Tolle
Everyone wants to feel acknowledged. From a young age, we need our parents’ affirmation, and as we grow up, we seek the validation of our partners. Just like that saying, I hope I am unique in your eyes.
8
- We are most alive when we’re in love. — John Updike
To be “alive” is not just to breathe, but to rediscover through another’s eyes that you can be this way.
9
- Love is an act of endless forgiveness, a tender look which becomes a habit. — Peter Ustinov
Love is intense, but over time, it settles into a profound feeling. It teaches us that true intimacy is never giving up.
10
- The greatest happiness of life is the conviction that we are loved; loved for ourselves, or rather, loved in spite of ourselves. — Victor Hugo
Being loved is not because of being perfect, but because someone is willing to embrace the overgrown weeds of your heart.
