Love has inspired page upon page of words since thin sheets of wood replaced stone tablets (can you imagine carving Anna Karenina into rock?). Today, with information overload seemingly just a click away, we've become a Twitter culture. Give us all the news, the tidbits, the emotions. Just do it in 140 characters or less.

Following the success of a book of six-word life memoirs, SMITH magazine's Six-Word Memoirs On Love & Heartbreak By Writers Famous & Obscure (Harper Perennial) offers all the highs, lows and in-betweens that define matters of the heart in 130 pages of six-word accounts. Here, a few favorites, which capture the humorous, happenstance and heartbreaking sides of the thing we call love.
