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.
My true love hath my heart, and I have his,
By just exchange, one for the other given.
You say to me-wards your affection's strong;
Pray love me little, so you love me long.
I loved you ere I knew you: know you now,
And, having known you, love you better still.
Alas! the love of women! it is known
To be a lovely and a fearful thing!
Heaven’s Sovereign saves all beings but himself
That hideous sight,—a naked human heart.
The enemy of a love is never outside, it's not a man or woman, it's what we lack in ourselves.
Un conte sans amour est comme du boudin sans moutarde; c’est chose insipide.
You know, actually we have no love — that is a terrible thing to realize.
