16 Quotes About Love That Only Introverts Will Understand

Everybody loves love, even introverts. It is a common misconception that we are emotionless and reserved, but that couldn't be farther from the truth.

Introverts love just as deeply as everyone else. We might like out alone time, but that doesn't mean we don’t love with passion, too.

In fact, our precious alone time can make us better partners to the rest of you, once we've had time to recharge and be with our thoughts.

And how do we prove this point? With quotes about love, of course!

From poet and novelist Rainer Maria Rilke to author and introvert-specialist Susan Cain, we've got some fabulous love quotes you need to read.

Personally, we're partial to Carl Jung's word of wisdom on us introverted folks, but you can pick your own favorite after checking out our gallery.

We just do these things to show you how much we love you, and how much the world loves you, too.

The world is a big, beautiful place, and it is full of love for all of us, introverts and extroverts alike. So read these quotes, spend some time with yourself thinking about them, and get out there to rock your best love life!

Love is life’s greatest gift, which is why people have a passion for love quotes - and we’ve got you covered. When it comes to saying “I love you”, the truth about marriage, or even finding the perfect love quote for your guy, we have all the cute (or sexy!) quotes you need.

"I can't think of any greater happiness than to be with you all the time, without interruption, endlessly, even though I feel that here in this world there's no undisturbed place for our love, neither in the village nor anywhere else; and I dream of a grave, deep and narrow, where we could clasp each other in our arms as with clamps, and I would hide my face in you and you would hide your face in me, and nobody would ever see us any more."

Rumi
