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 was not yet in love, yet I loved to love...I sought what I might love, in love with loving.
Time flies on restless pinions—constant never.
Be constant—and thou chainest time forever.
Kissing Agathon, I held my life on my lips.
It wanted to pass over, poor thing, into him.
We let it in
We give it out
And in the end
What's it all about?
It must be love.
How long will I want you?
As long as you want me to
And longer by far
