When we want to describe our feelings, words can sometimes escape us... If we aren't creative enough to write poetry or love letters, we can look at what others have written instead. One great quote can give you that wonderful feeling of "that's exactly what I wanted to say, but I didn't know how."
Sometimes, when we want to describe our feelings for someone else, our mind goes blank. If the muses have not graced us with the gift of poetry, we can always look at the quotes of writers and intellectuals to give a special touch to our declarations of love.
How many times have you read a quote and thought, “That’s exactly what I wanted to say, but I didn’t know how”? Here’s a list of our top 10 love quotes written in Spanish. Let’s practice!
