It is the addition of strangeness to beauty that constitutes the romantic character in art.
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.
Narcissism comes not out of self-love but out of self-hatred.
He is as loving and tender as a child, but strong and sturdy as a rock.
And that sweet city with her dreaming spires,
She needs not June for beauty’s heightening.
The price of hating other human beings is loving oneself less.
You are an eternal being of love
you are the light of the world.
God can find a soul of beauty
Where it falls, as gems of worth
Are found by miners dark in earth.
Beauty of the face is the outward charm of a human being, and the beauty of soul is his inner charm.
Hate, hunger, and pride make better levers of propaganda than do love or impartiality.
