Most girls will be very flattered if you praise her beauty by a quote. However, the gesture will only really pay off if you quote from something she would recognise or would understand. There is no point in quoting from a speech or poem that is in a very difficult language to understand, or that she may not recognize.
Here are some ideas for quotes you could use, and where you could look for some quotes of your own if you do not like these ideas:
- Look at some of the most influential writers, such as John Yeats. Although your girlfriend might not recognise the quote, she will be able to grasp the beauty of the simple words in a quote such as this:
"A thing of beauty is a joy forever,
Its loveliness increases, it will never pass into nothingness."
- Think about some of the romantic films that have been released in the past few years, or some that have stood the test of time, such as Titanic or Romeo and Juliet. Pick something that you think your girlfriend would appreciate.
- What kind of music does your girlfriend like? Why not pick a beautiful verse from a Coldplay song or something from the Beatles. For example, why not use these opening lines from the song 'And I Love Her':
"I give her all my love,
That's all I do,
and If you saw my love,
you'd love her too. And I love her."
- One of the most romantic things you could do is to make up your own poem or quote about how beautiful your girlfriend is. It does not need to be perfect, but you could tell her how much she means to you by writing it from the heart.
