Love Quotes from Hollywood's Finest

Leonardo DiCaprio to Kate Winslet in "Titanic"

Twentieth Century Fox

Ladies and gentleman, let’s clear the air. It was pretty evident that there was enough room on that door for both Jack and Rose to find safety. Okay, I said it. Now let’s get on with one of the most selfless love quotes you’ll ever hear in a film.

“Winning that ticket, Rose, was the best thing that ever happened to me…it brought me to you…You must do me this honor, Rose. Promise me you’ll survive. That you won’t give up, no matter what happens, no matter how hopeless. Promise me now, Rose, and never let go of that promise.”

Did you unconsciously mimic Jack’s efforts to ward off the shivers too? Of course you did because Jack and Rose were love at first sight. Their passion for each other was evident from the first time they laid eyes on each other. It was young love—innocent and pure.

Billy Crystal to Meg Ryan in "When Harry Met Sally"

Columbia Pictures

There are no other actors that could have embodied the characters of Harry and Sally like Billy Crystal and Meg Ryan. I think it’s safe to say that Harry and Sally are iconic best friends that cause us to be thankful for the friendship we have with our significant other.

“I love that you get cold when it’s 71 degrees out. I love that it takes you an hour and a half to order a sandwich. I love that you get a little crinkle in your nose when you’re looking at me like I’m nuts. I love that after I spend the day with you, I can still smell your perfume on my clothes. And I love that you are the last person I want to talk to before I go to sleep at night. And it’s not because I’m lonely, and it’s not because it’s New Year’s Eve. I came here tonight because when you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible.”

I think it’s safe to say that Harry’s epic speech on love is one of the reasons a New Year’s kiss became such a real tradition. Personally, I love that Harry is able to love Sally’s oddities and find see the positive side of everything.

Tom Hanks in "Sleepless in Seattle"

Tristar Pictures

Meg Ryan is a lucky woman—Billy Crystal and Tom Hanks. In Sleepless in Seattle, love quotes are said throughout the film. “It was a million tiny little things that, when you added them all up, they meant we were supposed to be together…and I knew it. I knew it the very first time I touched her. It was like coming home…only to no home I’d ever known…I was just taking her hand to help her out of a car and I knew it. It was like…magic…”

Did anyone else envision Woody reciting that line to Bo Peep, too? Regardless if you did or didn’t, I think everyone has experienced that moment of profound love that cannot be explained. Ultimately, that’s exactly what love is—it’s not words, it’s a feeling.

Renee Zellweger to Tom Cruise in "Jerry Maguire"

Tristar Pictures

Five words define love and made millions of hopeless romantics melt instantly. Renee Zellweger’s character said, “You had me at hello.” Simple, straight forward and to the point. The phrase “love at first sight,” took a backseat to the phrase “you had me at hello.”

Despite its simplicity, everyone can relate to its purity and innocence. Sometimes love is that simple. You meet the one and you confess your love for each other—and then the rest is a happily ever after. Well of course there’s times where we make mistakes and don’t see exactly what’s lying in front of us, but in the end when we’re able to push aside everything else ultimately we get it. And it’s worth the struggles and the path it took to get there.

Robert Pattinson to Kristin Stewart in "Twilight"

Summit Entertainment

Bella and Edward. Edward and Bella. They were meant for each other. Can anyone seriously say they weren’t upset when Bella cheated on Edward with that director—I mean, when Kristen cheated on Robert? In Twilight, Edward says, “You are my life now.” Girls, you can’t honestly tell me that you weren’t pulling for Edward the entire time—even later when he leaves. The undeniable passion and connection that Edward and Bella shared was what every person yearns for when they are looking for love. Everyone wants someone who is devoted to them—and is willing to do anything to make them happy.

While Edward’s obsession with Bella—yes, I’m referring to when he watched her sleeping—was borderline stalkerish, the desire to protect and be a couple was powerful. It made all of us watching envy their relationship, their connection and the outlandish romantic gestures. All in all, Bella and Edward’s love story made us fall in love with love—over and over again.

Ryan Gosling to Rachel McAdams in "The Notebook"

New Line Cinema

You didn’t think I left out Nicholas Sparks’ epic love story The Notebook, did you? Noah and Allie’s love story was one for the hopeless romantic and even for the realist. The Notebook was relatable on so many levels because it displayed how love can prevail despite obstacles and progression within life. Love always prevails—and Noah and Allie’s story displayed this truth.

There are a countless number of love quotes in The Notebook—honestly, that could be an entire article in itself. However, one of the best quotes is when Noah says to Allie in a letter, “The best love is the kind that awakens the soul and makes us reach for more, that plants a fire in our hearts and brings peace to our minds, and that’s what you’ve given me.”

Allie wipes away tears, almost crashes her car, and we’re left wiping away our own tears too. It’s all true—true love touches the soul in ways that can’t be imagined or described. All in all, love changes us. It changes our general make up and causes us to evolve in a way we never thought was possible.
