There is nothing not to like about it. But as marketable as the text is for gift-giving, it’s also a great idea to keep your own copy for lonely times.

"The Beatles told us “All you need is love.” Love is that four lettered word that man has tried to understand and to find from time immemorial. We need it, we thrive on it, we seek it, and sometimes it’s a many splendored thing. In Words of Love Author Allen Klein has put together a delightful collection of quotes about love. Perhaps it’s a piece of work one could be inspired by to write our own words of love. Good material for wedding vows. Whatever one’s heart might be compelled to do with such a generous selection of poetic verse and prose.Klein understands that love comes in many forms, suitable for different occasions, relationships, and people in our lives, and has grouped the quotes into appropriate categories covering those special events like first love, true love, marriage, even the special love from a mother to a child. These quotes nurture that inherent hope that there’s someone out there for everyone. And love nurtures love. These tender heartfelt words will encourage us to share it, feel it, give it away!"
-Reviewed by Laura Friedkin, The San Francisco Book Review
"In this inspirational and wide-ranging collection of quotations about love, Allen Klein takes a subject that seems very overworked and leaky, and manages to pull together a commendable resource for writers and speakers of all stripes. The quotes in Words of Love are divided into thematic sections on what is love, falling in love, first love, romantic love, loving couples, a mother's love, loving yourself, hugs and kisses, love conquers all, and unconditional love. Here you will find quotes from ancient and modern sources; philosophers, actors, and writers; the famous and little known creative souls. The following sampler will give you a sense of what's in this top-of-the-line paperback:• "Love is the greatest refreshment in life."
— Pablo Picasso • "The heart that loves is always young." — Greek Proverb • "Love is space and time measured by the heart." — Marcel Proust"
