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.
He loved his kind, but sought the love of few,
And valued old opinions more than new.
There’s too much beauty upon this earth
For lonely men to bear.
Lo, one who loved true honour more than fame,
A real goodness, not a studied name.
It hath and schal ben everemor
That love is maister wher he wile.
For love is mor than gold or gret richesse;
Gold faileth ofte; love wol abyde.
...if love hath filled all the corners of our soul, it alone is able to do all the work of God.
Sacred art helps man find his own center, that kernel whose nature is to love God.
Virtue consists in allowing free passage, in the soul, to the Beauty of God.
Your old-fashioned tirade—
loving, rapid, merciless—
breaks like the Atlantic Ocean on my head.
After loving you so much, can I forget
you for eternity, and have no other choice?
