Falling in love is a great feeling, and one that we all strive for. But, at times, we can assume we are in love only to soon find out that it wasn’t the real thing after all. So how do you know when you’re in love? What are the criteria for being “in love?” How can you tell when it’s the real thing?
Let’s turn to some famous quotes by insightful and well-known individuals to see if we can find some answers.
Love According to Dr. Seuss: Mutual Weirdness
Authors often have the ability to tap into remarkable intuitive powers, and are able to articulate things that are hard to understand – like falling love.
Dr. Seuss, though he was most popular for his children’s books, did the same. He sums up love in what has become a very famous quote: “We’re all a little weird. And life is weird. And when we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours, we join up with them and fall into mutual weirdness and call it love.” But, Dr. Seuss, how do you know when you’re in this mutual weirdness of love? “You know you’re in love when you can’t fall asleep because reality is finally better than your dreams.”
Famous Writer Hemmings Talks About the Agony of Love
Kaui Hart Hemmings is the author of The Descendants, a story that is now a highly acclaimed American film starring George Clooney. She says that you know you are in love when no experience is as enjoyable as if the other person were there with you. “That’s how you know you love someone, I guess, when you can’t experience anything without wishing the other person were there to see it, too.”
Paul McCartney Highlights the Individual Nature of Love
Paul McCartney of The Beatles has written a number of love songs, which makes him something of an expert in the area. According to this famous musician, love is something unique for every person. The definition of love is your own to create, and therefore knowing when you’re in love – according to your own definition – is different for everyone:
“Love is a universal feeling but the definition of love is each person’s secret.”

Nathan Fillion plays wealthy mystery novelist Richard Castle on Castle, which chronicles the author’s exploits as he shadows NYPD detective Kate Beckett (Stana Katic). In one particular episode, Castle is taken aback when his daughter asks him how one knows when one is in love, and thus he turns to Beckett for the answer. Her reply:
“All the songs make sense.”
With these famous love quotes and sayings, it’s easy to see that love comes in many different shapes and forms. Perhaps the symptoms of falling love are based on your own, personal situation. Perhaps there are many ways to fall in love, and perhaps knowing when it’s the real thing is an undiscovered secret between lovers. If you’re not sure whether you’re in love or not, use these love quotes and sayings as a guideline. Finding love is one of the most wonderful experiences one can have in life, so don’t let it slip away by denying it.
