Famous Quotes & Sayings

Matthew McConaughey

For me, one of the toughest things about Valentine's Day is that it gets geared up as the day to profess your love. See, T-E-S-T - that's a bad word that doesn't go with L-O-V-E.

Pablo Neruda

so I love you because I know no other way than this: where I does not exist, nor you, so close that your hand on my chest is my hand, so close that your eyes close as I fall asleep.

Khalil Gibran

To know the pain of too much tenderness

Khalil Gibran

Love has no other desire but to fulfill itself, but if you love and must needs have desires, let these be your desires.

I claim there ain't Another Saint As great as Valentine.

Helen Fielding

Valentine's Day purely commercial, cynical enterprise, anyway. Matter of supreme indifference to me.

I've realized that although Valentine's Day can be a cheesy money making stint to most people, it's a day of expressing love across the world. It doesn't have to only be between lovers, but by telling a friend that you care, or even an old person that they are still appreciated.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

We say love is blind, and the figure of Cupid is drawn with a bandage around his eyes. Blind - yes, because he does not see what he does not like; but the sharpest-sighted hunter in the universe is Love for finding what he seeks, and only that.

Marcus Aurelius

Love the people with whom fate brings you together

Helen Fisher

A world without love is a deadly place.

Helen Fisher

People live for love. They kill for love. They die for love. They have songs, poems, novels, sculptures, paintings, myths, legends. It's one of the most powerful brain systems on Earth for both great joy and great sorrow.

Hector Elizondo

Every day is Valentine's Day! I'm a hopeless romantic.

Henry David Thoreau

Night is certainly more novel and less profane than day.

Kevin Bales

Yes, twenty-seven million in slavery is a lot of people, but it is just .0043 percent of the world's population. Yes, $23 billion a year in slave-made products as services is a lot of money but it is exactly what Americans spent on Valentine's Day in 2005. If humans trafficking generates $32 billion in profits annually, that is still a tiny drop in the ocean of the world economy.

Paulo Coelho

We are all a little weird and life's a little weird, and when we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours, we join up with them and fall in mutual weirdness and call it love. Time is too slow for those who wait, too swift for those who fear, too long for those who grieve, too short for those who rejoice, but for those who love, time is eternity. I've fallen in love many times... always with you. What I need to live has been given to me by the earth. Why I need to live has been given to me by you. Love is just a word until someone comes along and gives it meaning.

Max Lucado

There is a time for risky love. There is a time for extravagant gestures. There is a time to pour out your affections on one you love. And when the time comes - seize it, don't miss it.

Judy Greer

My perfect Valentine's Day would be coming home to a giant box waiting for me, and it has a gorgeous dress and high-heeled shoes and a handbag. And someone's waiting to do my hair and makeup. You can tell I've been in too many romantic comedies.

Patti Stanger

Valentine's Day is the hardest day of the year for a woman to get out, but everybody who is anybody and single is out that night.

Emma Roberts

I don't really care too much about Valentine's Day... I've never had a valentine or anything. I've always just spent it with my friends, so I don't really have much expectation for Valentine's Day.

Lewis Grizzard

When My Love Comes Back from the Ladies' Room, Will I Be Too Old To Care?

Lewis Black

The whole Valentine's thing is fine, but you don't back it up right next to the biggest gift-giving holiday of the year. Unbelievable. And we find it acceptable.

Lewis Black

What I find most disturbing about Valentine's Day is, look, I get that you have to have a holiday of love, but in the height of flu season, it makes no sense.

Laurell K. Hamilton

Death, jewelry, or magic; it sounded like Valentine's Day.

John Keats

Now a soft kiss - Aye, by that kiss, I vow an endless bliss.

Lindsay Ellingson

Valentine's Day is my favorite holiday.

Lil Wayne

People call it Valentines Day, I call it Tuesday.

Elvis Presley

Sad thing is, you can still love someone and be wrong for them.

Tracy McMillan

All of us, consciously or unconsciously, set out to have the best possible love life. Valentine's Day simply shines a light on the degree to which that didn't - or hasn't yet - materialized.

Robin Ince

My wife could turn to me and she may say, 'Why do you love me?' And I can with all honesty look her in the eye and say, 'Because our pheromones matched our olfactory receptors.'

Rob Sheffield

You can hear the Celtic heartbeat all over Europe and America, from Bing Crosby to Jack White, from the Smiths to My Bloody Valentine, from House of Pain to Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch.

Russell Westbrook

Valentine's Day's not for men.

I got a Valentine's Day card from my girl. It said, 'Take my heart! Take my arms! Take my lips!' Which is just like her. Keeping the best part for herself.
