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.
In many ways doth the full heart reveal
The presence of the love it would conceal.
The cold in clime are cold in blood,
Their love can scarce deserve the name.
For love is ever the beginning of Knowledge, as fire is of light.
Being with you and not being with you is the only way I have to measure time.
