91. “If the dark days of winter are a struggle where everything seems that little bit harder, it is not just your imagination.

No, you won’t see the numbers and diversity of birds that surround us in the warm months. But what winter offers is the chance to observe behavior — birds act differently in the cold, their activities much more focused. And they’re easier to spot and watch, without tree leaves to hide their comings and goings.” — Val Cunningham

And we are blessed to experience each one.” — Irwin Kraus

There's a reason romantic movies like The Notebook and Casablanca are classics. These faves all have something in common: they deliver love quotes that just make you melt as soon as you hear them. You know what I mean—it's that feeling you get when you see that scene in The Notebook where Noah tells Allie, "No matter what happens to us, every day spent with you is the best day of my life."
Quotes like these make you cry happy tears, and sometimes not-so-happy tears, because...well you've seen the ending, and if you haven't, I won't spoil it because it deserves all the glory.
Now, that's not to say all the best romantic film quotes are always about an intense, passionate love. Movies about forbidden or unrequited love always have these amazing one-liners or monologues that you just want to keep replaying, too.
And sure, maybe you won't necessarily find yourself running through an airport to confess your feelings to the love of your life before they move away, or standing in the rain while telling the person of your dreams you want to spend the rest of your life with them. But if you ever did, thanks to these films, you'll know exactly what to say (romantic music that swells in the background not included).
So, just in case you need a reference or 31, look no further for the most unforgettable love quotes from movies.
