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.

'Please love me David the way I am. Please understand and love me.'

Love personalizes all that it loves. Only by personalizing it can we fall in love with an idea.
Knightly love is blent with reverence
As heavenly air is blent with heavenly blue.
Oh, where is there the heart but knows
Love's first steps are upon the rose!
For love is like the breathing wind,
That everywhere may entrance find.
All the fairest things of earth,
Art's creations have their birth —
Still from love and death.
