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.
Knightly love is blent with reverence
As heavenly air is blent with heavenly blue.
Oh, where is there the heart but knows
Love's first steps are upon the rose!
For love is like the breathing wind,
That everywhere may entrance find.
All the fairest things of earth,
Art's creations have their birth —
Still from love and death.
They that love beyond the world cannot be separated by it. Death cannot kill, what never dies.
Love is the final end of the world's history, the Amen of the universe.
It is better to be hated for what you are than to be loved for what you are not.
Satirists gain the applause of others through fear, not through love.
I look at things for the art sake and the beauty sake and for the deal sake.
