Upon a darkened night the flame of love was burning in my breast.
Anniversary Quotes
There is no anniversary collection behind this page. It is put together from the pages on love, marriage, romance and time, then sorted by quality, so what comes up first is whatever those four pages rate highest.
Expect poems and passages from novels more than card lines. Some of the best material here only works with the sentences around it, which is why each quote links to its own page with the source and the notes. If you plan to put one in print, check the flag first: a line marked misattributed is fine to enjoy and risky to credit.
Love guards the roses of thy lips
And flies about them like a bee.
I love it, I love it; and who shall dare
To chide me for loving that old arm-chair?
I never was on the dull, tame shore,
But I loved the great sea more and more.
"When any of you wishes to demand a woman in marriage, if he can arrange it, let him see her first."
Writing is hard work. The fact that I love doing it doesn't make it less hard work.
Love's but a frailty of the mind,
When 'tis not with ambition joined.
Love is ever the beginning of Knowledge as fire is of light.
