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.

Tramples wisdom under foot,
Worth derides, and only looks
For money.

Can love communicate over great distance? I could only hope so.

a tale of love recorded in old books.
Fortify ourselves and shoulder our responsibility as citizens who truly love their motherland.
