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.
I had loved so infrequently I felt a debt to those whom I had, for the reprieve from solitude.
I have lived such an unnatural life, devoid of love, sex, and pleasure.
Many love humanity only in order to forget God with a clear conscience.
I have seen women who thought they loved me look at me that way, and wolves which were hungry.
In your eyes I saw my destiny today is like I wanted you made me love, taught me to be happy.
Whoever escapes marriage
And women's harm, comes to deadly old age
Without any son to support him.
