Looking for short love quotes for him? These quotes are all 15 words or under.
As an ex-high school English teacher, it’s perhaps no surprise that I love quotes.
Quotes capture commonly felt ideas and experiences. They often express things in a way far superior than anything we can come up with. They’re great to add some literary weight to our feelings when we’re struggling for words.
These short love quotes are 15 words or under. This makes them perfect for a caption, a couple’s tattoo, or quick lines in a card or love letter to your man along with these heartwarming words or happy birthday wishes, depending on the occasion. They’re sourced from the classics through to modern day literature.
And a caveat – I’ve done my best with the author’s attributions but they are challenging – I know one claims to be both from a French novelist AND an African proverb… so I welcome any and all corrections.
