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.

Swims on a lake with her double thereon.

Kings may love treason, but the traitor hate.
We love in others what we lack ourselves,
And would be every thing but what we are.
Trust no friend without faults, and love a maiden, but no angel.
