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.

I love little pussy, her coat is so warm;
And if I don't hurt her she'll do me no harm.

They say ‘What is love?’ Say ‘renunciation of will’
Whoso has not escaped from will, no will has he.
Spirit is very subtle and love is very jealous,
What room for form, if the felt is hundredfold?
