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.
Sleep, angry beauty, sleep, and fear not me.
For who a sleeping lion dares provoke?
An understanding of beauty and enthusiasm for it are one and the same.
Who now reads novels as a guide to life and love? Everyone wants to star in his or her own movie.
But, ah! if empty dreams so please,
Love give me more such nights as these.
O sir! I love the fruit that treason brings,
But those that are the traitors, them I hate.
Men have social needs. They have a need for other people; they have a need to love and be loved.
Love while you've got
love to give.
Live while you've got
life to live.
