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.

Esteem and love were never to be sold.

To rest mistrustful where a noble heart
Hath pawn'd an open hand in sign of love.

I have a very simple creed: that life and joy and beauty are better than dusty death.
A man can hide all things, excepting twain—
That he is drunk, and that he is in love.
Who does not know that veiled beauty is more seductive than visible beauty?
Poor little foal of an oppressèd race!
I love the languid patience of thy face.
