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.

Who gives and asks no payment.

Be the one to save my saving grace.
All farms are much alike everywhere, and all wild places have their own beauty.
And love runs down like this
Water, love runs down.
How slow life is,
How violent hope is.
Love does not take away from one in order to give to another.
