Seek not in borrowed hues your cheeks to dress,
Naked is Love, and loveth nakedness.
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.

I love everything that's old: old friends, old times, old manners, old books, old wines.
Now, so far as I can judge, self-love is the root of all evil
If you love me, be patient. Look at the trees. Are they in a hurry to ripen their fruit?
Call it peace or call it treason,
Call it love or call it reason,
But I ain't marching anymore!
Endurance is nobler than strength, and patience than beauty.
Fountain heads and pathless groves,
Places which pale passion loves.
