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.
Thus times do shift; each thing his turne does hold;
New things succeed, as former things grow old.
The noiseless foot of Tune steals swiftly by
And ere we dream of manhood, age is nigh.
For each age is a dream that is dying,
Or one that is coming to birth.
Yet, do thy worst, old Time; despite thy wrong,
My love shall in my verse ever live young.
Love's never wasted when it's shared, mm
And although it's over
I'll always be there
Ere yet the salt of most unrighteous tears
Had left the flushing in her galled eyes,
She married.
