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.
The soul that walks in love neither tires others nor grows tired
Verily by Beauty it is that we come at Wisdom,
yet not by Reason at Beauty.
And behold there was a very stately palace before him, the name of which was Beautiful.
For, when with beauty we can virtue join,
We paint the semblance of a form divine.
I pray the prayer of Plato old:
God make thee beautiful within.
Even at this sight
My heart is turn'd to stone: and while 'tis mine,
It shall be stony.
The very firstlings of my heart shall be
The firstlings of my hand.
I will wear my heart upon my sleeve
For daws to peck at; I am not what I am.
