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.
There is an antique gem, on which her brow
Retains its graven beauty even now.
Thrice venomed is the wound when 'tis Love's hand
Inflicts the blow.
Love is that liquor sweet and most divine,
Which my God feels as blood, but I as wine.
Only God, my dear,
Could love you for yourself alone
And not your yellow hair.
Exuberance to me early meant ecstacy of love, the poetic principle of life.
Friendship, 'tis said, is love without his wings,
And friendship, sir, is sweet enough for me.
