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.

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.

Of human offspring.
