Hi all! I’m a huge bookworm, and am getting married next summer. My fiancé and I are writing our own vows, and I would love to incorporate a book quote or two into my vows. Does anyone have any recommendations of sweet, romantic literary quotes to include?
In case it’s helpful, I love the Harry Potter books, anything fiction (fantasy, YA, classics) but I’m not necessarily looking for quotes from these genres only. Thanks in advance!

Love Sonnet XVII (Pablo Neruda) (i am just copy pasting the last paragraph)
I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where,
I love you directly without problems or pride:
I love you like this because I don’t know any other way to love,
except in this form in which I am not nor are you,
so close that your hand upon my chest is mine,
so close that your eyes close with my dreams.
“Love doesn’t just sit there, like a stone, it has to be made, like bread; remade all the time, made new.” –Ursula K. Le Guin, *The Lathe of Heaven*
Haruki Murakami is not known for particularly romantic thoughts on love, but I do like this one from IQ84:
