Love is like the glass,
That throws its own rich colour over all,
And makes all beautiful.
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.
All love that has not friendship for its base,
Is like a mansion built upon the sand.
He that made all things for love, by the same love keepeth them, and shall keep them without end.
For Truth makes holy Love's illusive dreams,
And their best promise constantly redeems.
There's someone who's loved you forever but you don't know it.
Beauty soon grows familiar to the lover,
Fades in his eye, and palls upon the sense.
To live is like to love — all reason is against it, and all healthy instinct for it.
She, though in full-blown flower of glorious beauty,
Grows cold even in the summer of her age.
Nothing makes a woman more beautiful than the belief that she is beautiful.
