Quote

How do I love thee? Let me count the ways. I love thee to the depth and breadth and height my soul can reach.

Elizabeth Barrett BrowningSonnets from the Portuguese 43

Note

This quote measures love by internal dimensions—depth, breadth, height—rather than external signs. It leans toward an internal standard, suggesting that the truest measure of affection is found in the vastness one feels within, not in outward gestures or possessions.
