O, thou art fairer than the evening air
Clad in the beauty of a thousand stars.
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.
Dearest comrades, all is over and long gone, But love is not over...
When things were as fine as could possibly be
I thought 'twas the spring; but alas it was she.
But great loves, to the last, have pulses red;
All great loves that have ever died dropped dead.
Not much he kens, I ween, of woman's breast,
Who thinks that wanton thing is won by sighs.
If I am not worth the wooing, I surely am not worth the winning.
I was not born under a rhyming planet, nor I cannot woo in festival terms.
She is a woman, therefore may be woo'd;
She is a woman, therefore may be won.
I will now court her in the conqueror's style;
"Come, see, and overcome."
