Many may ask, Just Who was Dr Seuss? Theodor Seuss Geisel was political satire cartoonist born in March 1904 in the USA. He later died in September 1991 after a long career as an author of children’s books.

I am sure like me, you have read at least one of Dr Seuss books. The next books to be published were: The Cat in the Hat and Green Eggs and Ham. The first ever Dr Seuss book I ever read was: Green Eggs and Ham and it has been my favourite ever since.

When I read this quote, it made me smile and giggle. It looks like I will be reading more books to my daughter after this. “You’re never too old too wacky too wild to pick up and read to a child.”

I do have a few books, but think this quote gives me permission to get more books, only question will then be, finding time to read them all. “Fill Your House With Stack of Books, in all the Crannies and all the nooks.”

Filling your house with books never got so easier until now. “Fill your house with stacks of books, in all the crannies and all the nooks.”

Dr Seuss Love Quotes 

There are some great Dr Seuss quotes about love. These Dr Seuss love quotes from his point of view, through the characters of his books.

“Cause when a guy does something stupid once, well that’s because he’s a guy. But if he does the same stupid thing twice, that’s usually to impress some girl”. I had to laugh at this and had to agree.

“If things start happening, don’t worry, don’t stew, just go right along and you’ll start happening too.” Love happens when you least expect it, but don’t go looking for it. Just let it happen naturally.

Doing things or activities with those you love are just as important as the memories. “Sometimes you will never know the value of a moment until it becomes a memory.”

..This quote speaks for itself. “You know when you’re in love when you can’t sleep because reality is finally better than your dreams.”

Having fun and exploring, you can fall in love in the most interesting of places. “The world is an interesting place. Have fun and exploring it. You may even meet someone new!”

Treasure each minute, each hour, each day, month and years you spend with the ones you love. Because before you know, those moments are gone. “I’m glad we had the times together just to laugh and sing a song, seems like we just got started and then before you know it, the times we had together were gone.”

Quirky and short and I love it. “Just tell yourself, duckie, You’re really quite lucky!”
