Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind,
And therefore is wing'd Cupid painted blind.
Valentine's Day Quotes
This page has no collection of its own behind it. It is built from the pages on love, romance and beauty, so it is very large and not selective. Use it as a place to start, and check what you pick.
The check matters more for love than for most topics, because so many of the famous lines are not what they seem. “Choose a job you love” is not Confucius, and “God made beer because he loves us” is probably a garbled Franklin on wine. See the Love page for both. If you are going to put a quote in a card, look at the label next to it first.
To fear love is to fear life, and those who fear life are already three parts dead.
Not for the body, but for the heart; companion and company are needed.
Love seldom haunts the breast where learning lies,
And Venus sets ere Mercury can rise.
God seeks comrades and claims love,
the Devil seeks slaves and claims obedience.
The good life is one inspired by love and guided by knowledge.
The superior man loves his soul; the inferior man loves his property.
The highest of generalizations is the synergetic integration of truth and love.
To know, to esteem, to love—and then to part,
Makes up life's tale to many a feeling heart!
