You might want to create a Text object instead of using love.graphics.print. You can then query its width and height in your check and display it using love.graphics.draw. The code might look something like this:

function love.draw ()
  love.graphics.draw(quit.text, quit.x, quit.y)
end

function love.load ()
  local font = love.graphics.getFont()
  quit = {}
  quit.text = love.graphics.newText(font, "Quit")
  quit.x = 450
  quit.y = 375
end

function love.mousepressed (x, y, button, istouch)
  if x >= quit.x and x <= quit.x + quit.text:getWidth() and
     y >= quit.y and y <= quit.y + quit.text:getHeight() then
    love.event.quit()
  end
end

function love.update(dt)
    function love.mousepressed( x, y)   
        if x > 440 and x < 540 and y > 380 and y < 410 then 
            love.event.quit()
        end
    end
end
