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.

The more it shapes its moan in selfish-wise.

When famished love a-lingering lies.

The tribute most high to a head that is royal,
Is love from a heart that loves liberty too.
A friendship that like love is warm;
A love like friendship, steady.
