The How Do I Love Thee quote is from Elizabeth Barrett Browning's classic poem "How Do I Love Thee" from Sonnets from the Portuguese. That's a really good one.
"All mankind love a lover." -- Ralph Waldo Emerson
Shakespeare's Sonnet 130 is also pretty classic. Although it doesn't speak highly of his lover in a traditional manner, the way it finishes is beautiful.

"If only the love that was reciprocated was as intense and obsessive as the love which is not" - Oscar Wilde
"Love is like quicksilver in the hand. Leave the fingers open and it stays, clutch it and it darts away" - Dorothy Parker
And the classic - "If you love something, set it free. If it comes back it's yours, if it doesn't, it never was"

Love is life. All, everything that I understand, I understand only because I love.
Everything is, everything exists, only because I love.
Leo Tolstoy
Love sought is good, but given unsought is better
William Shakespeare
Love comes to those who still hope, even though they've been disappointed, to those who still love even though they've been hurt before.

My favorite is from one of my favorite movies, a tragic, romantic and kind of twisted love story. "The luckiest man to walk this earth is he who finds true love." Bram Stokers Dracula

From 'The Wedding Date', "I'd rather fight with you then make love with anyone else any day." I can't really think of any others right now...

It is better to have loved and lost
than never to have loved at all.

"How do I love thee, let me count the ways..."
Right now I can't remember who said it, but it's well known.
