[Love Quotes] Recommended for those troubled by love and those in love! A collection of quotes that will make you feel positive about love.

Love as infatuation is self-centered; love in its true form is other-centered.Akihiro Miwa

Having led a complex life and being famous not only as a singer and actor but also for offering counseling from a spiritual perspective, Akihiro Miwa’s words carry real conviction.

Perhaps true human happiness comes from transforming self-centered romance into love that considers the other person.

From a distance, most things look beautiful.Haruki Murakami

These are the words of Haruki Murakami, a novelist who has produced numerous works such as Killing Commendatore and 1Q84.

They are short and simple, yet profoundly deep.

When we fall in love, the distance between us and the other person becomes so close that what we thought we were seeing may, in fact, be unseen.

Hearing these words might take you back to when you first began to fall in love.

A man’s love is a part of his life, while a woman’s love is her entire life.Byron

Love quotes

These are the words of Lord Byron, a British poet.

As a member of the Romantic school, his famous sayings are, quite literally, filled with romance.

Although Byron was a man, he understood women well.

Seen through both a man’s eyes and a woman’s eyes, these words remind us of the differences between male and female love.

It’s enough for you to become great yourself. If you do, love will surely follow after you.Emerson

LITERATURE – Ralph Waldo Emerson

Emerson, an American thinker, philosopher, writer, poet, and essayist, lost his first wife at a young age.

True to these words, he later wrote a letter proposing marriage to a second woman, and she replied with her acceptance.

It’s an episode that reveals his solid, steady character—the belief that if he elevates his own character, the person worthy of it will appear.

Short absences invigorate love, but long absences destroy it.Mirabeau

Assassin’s Creed Unity co-op mission: moving Mirabeau

Mirabeau, a central leader in the early French Revolution, was also known as “Mirabeau the political strategist,” and he excelled in both oratory and statecraft.

Having once been a rake himself, his famous sayings about love carry a ring of realism.

Just as the proverb says that those who part grow distant day by day, the feeling of falling for someone else when you see each other too rarely is something that hasn’t changed from past to present.

Loving someone, you know, is probably about praying that you yourself will change together with the person you love.Tatsuro Hoshino

Back in the Taisho and Showa eras, men walked ahead while women followed quietly three steps behind—thinking about it now, it feels a bit strange, but that was normal then.

There was also the bubble-era style of romance where the man took the lead assertively.

This line comes from a drama set in the Showa period, yet it exudes a timeless charm that fits our era, too.

It’s a refined line that captures the ideal shape of love: the two of us changing together, regardless of being a man or a woman.

When you fall for someone, no matter what they put you through, you just don’t feel any hatred or anger toward them at all.Tatsuro Hoshino

Hatsunori Hasegawa plays Kaoru’s late fiancé.

And of course, he also plays the character in the latter half of the drama who looks just like Kaoru’s former fiancé—the same Hatsunori Hasegawa, and both roles are incredibly cool! No wonder the heroine Kaoru falls for him…

Even with such powerful rivals in love in both the past and present, and even if he ends up being tossed around by Kaoru as a result, Tatsuro never blames her.

He’s just that big-hearted—tolerant in love, tolerant toward his partner.

“If I fall in love, I go all in” Tatsuro—honestly, you could almost revere him as a mentor in romance.
