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.

No rest is to be found
But in Thy blessèd love;
O let my wish be crowned
And send it from above.
I don't know why
I love you like I do
I don't know why, but I do.
The three eldest children of Necessity: God, the World and love.
Were Love exempt from the militations of Necessity, he were greater than God and the World.
