The following love quote is attributed to Jean Anouilh:
“Love is, above all, the gift of oneself.”
My first thought upon reading this quote was that, if this is the case, then I better work on myself to insure I’m a good gift! 
Furthermore, this process of being “a good gift” is an ongoing and continuing process.

The following beautiful quote about love comes from the character George Sand (played by Judy Davis) in the movie Impromptu (1991):
“I am not full of virtues and noble qualities. I love. That is all. But I love strongly, exclusively and steadfastly.”
The movie portrays Sand’s romantic pursuit of the pianist/composer Frédéric Chopin.
I find the line to be extremely powerful – try saying it in your mind or out-loud – it’s extraordinary! So is Judy Davis’ delivery – shared in the YouTube video below:

I found the following love quote attributed to Lao Tzu on a box of tea. Enjoy!
“Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength; loving someone deeply gives you courage.”
In French:
«Être profondément aimé de quelqu’un te donne la force, alors qu’aimer quelqu’un te donne profondément le courage.»
