Then Love, I beg, when next thou takest thy bow, . . .
Pass rascal deer, strike me the largest doe.
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.
In the fire of love we live, or pass by many ways,
By unnumbered ways of dream to death.
The Hermit
Expressions are many
but Thy loveliness is one;
Each of us refers
to that single Beauty.
I made Man with too many faults. Yet I love him.
And if he wishes, I have a home above for him.
Love is not a symptom of time.
Time is just a symptom of love
Leader Abdullah Öcalan
"Our revolution is a revolution of beauty."
Vanquished in life, his death
By beauty made amends:
The passing of his breath
Won his defeated ends.
What did I know, what did I know
of love's austere and lonely offices?
