Love Quote Images Biography
I love Valentine's Day. Always have. Probably always will. I think there's something special about one entire day dedicated to love. Some may say you don't need one day to focus on love, you should honor it all year long. I don't disagree, but I still really like the idea of having one day that's all about love.
And I'm not just talking romantic love. To me, any kind of love qualifies to be held up on Valentine's Day. That means everything from friendship, to sibling and parental love. No matter what type of love you are celebrating, there's something sweet about acknowledging the importance of love in your life.
Love sustains us, it energizes us, it comforts us, and it can even send us swooning. I guess that's why, regardless of what is going on in my life, or what type of love I have, I always enjoy celebrating the day that is all about love.
So, in honor of Valentine's Day, I put forth to you, one dozen quotes about love. They are mostly romantic, but sprinkled with other types too. And they have, at one point in time or another, brought a smile to my lips or a flutter to my heart...
"Give me a kiss, and to that kiss a score; then to that twenty, add a hundred more; a thousand to that hundred; so kiss on, to make that thousand up a million; treble that million, and when that is done let's kiss afresh, as when we first begun." -Robert Herrick

"Hark! My lover--here he comes springing across the mountains, leaping across the hills. My lover is like a gazelle or a young stag.

My lover speaks; he says to me 'Arise, my beloved, my beautiful one, and come!'" -Song of Songs 2:8B-10, New American Bible

I thought so little of myself, felt that I had such scant offerings to give to the world, that the one thing that justified my existence at all was my agony.”

“Do you like me?”
No answer.
Silence bounced, fell off his tongue
and sat between us
and clogged my throat.
It slaughtered my trust.
It tore cigarettes out of my mouth.
We exchanged blind words,
and I did not cry,
I did not beg,
but blackness filled my ears,
blackness lunged in my heart,
and something that had been good,
a sort of kindly oxygen,
turned into a gas oven.”
