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.
Never, dear father, love can be,
Like the dear love I had for thee!
True love is timid, as it knew its worth,
And that such happiness is scarce for earth.
I am sure, zeal or love for truth can never permit falsehood to be used in the defence of it.
I hold any writer sufficiently justified who is himself in love with his theme.
Love and art do not embrace what is beautiful but what is made beautiful by this embrace.
We are never so defenceless against suffering as when we love.
Love calls to war;
Sighs his alarms,
Lips his swords are,
The field his arms.
I would love to be close, like buy the house down the street.
Absence from whom we love is worse than death,
And frustrate hope severer than despair.
There's a certain part of the contented majority who love anybody who is worth a billion dollars.
