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.
Love rests on no foundation.
It is an endless ocean,
with no beginning or end.
On our earth we can only love with suffering and through suffering.
One is loved because one is loved. No reason is needed for loving.
What woman says to fond lover should be written on air or the swift water.
Girls we love for what they are;
Young men for what they promise to be.
O that it might remain eternally green,
The beautiful time of youthful love.
At lovers' perjuries Jove laughs and throws them idly to the winds.
Grief at the absence of a loved one is happiness compared to life with a person one hates.
Too exact, and rather studious of similitude than of beauty.
