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.

My neighbour
doesn't want to be loved
as much as
he wants to be envied.

And valued old opinions more than new.
Lo, one who loved true honour more than fame,
A real goodness, not a studied name.
It hath and schal ben everemor
That love is maister wher he wile.
