Love seeks one thing only: the good of the one loved. It leaves all the other secondary effects to take care of themselves. Love, therefore, is its own reward.
Love is the master key that opens the gates of happiness.
Love is a promise, love is a souvenir, once given never forgotten, never let it disappear.
Trip over love, you can get up. Fall in love and you fall forever. Anyone can catch your eye, but it takes someone special to catch your heart. Love is a smoke made with the fume of sighs.
Love is not finding someone to live with; it's finding someone you can't live without.
Love is like swallowing hot chocolate before it has cooled off. It takes you by surprise at first, but keeps you warm for a long time.
The minute I heard my first love story, I started looking for you.
Longer Version:
The minute I heard my first love story, I started looking for you, not knowing how blind that was.
For you see, each day I love you more. Today more than yesterday and less than tomorrow.
In your light I learn how to love. In your beauty, how to make poems. You dance inside my chest where no-one sees you, but sometimes I do, and that sight becomes this art.
Don't wait until it's too late to tell someone how much you love, how much you care.
If every lover was treated like they matter -- every day; Valentine's day wouldn't be so 'special.'
Love is the only answer to every question. It is the only thing that will serve you in every situation. It is the route and the destination. It is medication, liberation and should be at the heart of and expression of your vocation.
On this Valentine's Day I like to whisper in your ear the silent songs of my heart.
To all lovebirds, enjoy each other's company and most importantly enjoy your special day. Happy Valentine's Day.
Oh my Valentine! I was waiting for you next to my wide open window just as a flower bud waits for the spring air to bloom.
I feel you not only on Valentine's day but with every breath of every day.
If I have not been both soothed by love and on the opposite extreme left devastated by it, I will never understand its power nor respect its majesty.
Valentine's Day is an extraordinary moment for recalling the lasting power of a true love.
Real love is an appreciable place of safety and nobility. Keep the fire burning. Happy Valentine's Day.

When I ask you to be my valentine, I'm not asking you to love me. I'm simply asking you to accept tokens of my love for you.
Love attracts, connects, builds and frees the beauty of humanity. Happy Valentine's Day.
The day when a higher number of people speak lies in this world is Valentine's day.
The day when a higher number of people do trust in lies in this world is Valentine's day.
Don't be shy to show your love, verbalise it and cushion it because it is the most beautiful and fragile gift that God has ever given to the humankind.
Happy Valentine's Day.
If you have only one smile in you, give it to the people you love.
Valentine's Day: one day to celebrate love, friendship, give hugs and say sweet things to your loved ones? C'mon, I need an entire year of that!
I stole your heart my dear and promise to keep it in the prison of my love forever.
As a flower can't bloom without sunshine so a life can't flourish without love.
In my darkness you appeared like a full moon with silvery lights of love.
Today's Valentine's Day. There's a whole day devoted solely to love. Does that make any sense? Nah. Love makes us all crazy. But it's fun too.
If my Valentine you won't be,
I'll hang myself on your Christmas tree.
May your Valentine's Day be filled with adoration, pampering, and a pair of gorgeous, tiny-heeled Jimmy Choo sandals that are completely useless in this weather. Just remember: You are totally worth it.
Valentine's Day without your love is like a year without the Internet.
To the romantic soul, the rituals of Valentine's Day echo every day of the year.
Valentine's Day is just another day to truly love like there is no tomorrow.
I talk for a living, but it's still hard to talk about love, especially when it's officially mandated by the calendar. (Men, of course, think Valentine's Day is a woman-dated occasion.).
The thing about Valentine's day is that people discover who are single and who to feel jealous of.
I have never once celebrated a Valentine's Day as a romantic holiday. For me, it's another opportunity to tell my kids or whoever how much I love them. I hang pink crepe paper and make heart-shaped pancakes!
I believe you can make your better half feel special on any given day and turn it into Valentine's Day.
Remember, your Valentine's card shows you care enough to send the very best, even though you're too lazy to put it in your own words.
Life has taught us that love does not consist in gazing at each other but in looking outward together in the same direction.
This is my saddest story: In grade school, they would have us open our Valentine's cards and read them out loud. I always sent cards to myself because nobody else did.
They do not love that do not show their love.
Longer Version:
They do not love that do not show their love. The course of true love never did run smooth. Love is familiar. Love is a devil. There is no evil angel but Love.
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.
Absolutely, there is a connection between food and love. I always say, when there's love in my heart or I'm feeling particularly good, the food comes out that much better. And so I think Valentine's Day is a special day.
Oh, if it be to choose and call thee mine, love, thou art every day my Valentine!
I'm like the kid in kindergarten; I really do send valentines to everyone.
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.
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.
I just think Valentine's Day is a day to really appreciate the person you love, no matter who it is, and to spend time with them. I don't think it's all about fancy presents or whatever. I think it's about spending that quality time with that special person.
I think that Valentine's Day is only as good as you want it to be. You know, I don't think it should be anything fancy, nothing crazy. As long as you're spending time with that person that's special, I think that's a great Valentine's Day.
Love is never defeated.
Longer Version:
Love is never defeated, and I could add, the history of Ireland proves it.
Romance is thinking about your significant other, when you are supposed to be thinking about something else.
I'm sentimental about many things: the lumpy feel of a baby's unused feet, the metallic smell of the air before the first snow, the last scene in 'It's a Wonderful Life.' But Valentine's Day leaves me cold.
If you press me to say why I loved him, I can say no more than because he was he, and I was I.
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.
Although I believe affection and romance should be shown all year around, it's always smart to have a good plan up your sleeve for Valentine's Day.
A man cannot be comfortable without his own approval.
Longer Version:
A man cannot be comfortable without his own approval. There is nothing more satisfying than that sense of being completely "at home" in your own skin. When you achieve that as a natural state of "being", then you can finally look beyond yourself and fully contribute all your talents to the world.
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.
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.
People love in different ways. You may have a man who brings you flowers every Monday but doesn't give two hooty-hoots about Valentine's Day. Just because he doesn't give you a valentine doesn't mean he doesn't love you!
I think careful cooking is love, don't you? The loveliest thing you can cook for someone who's close to you is about as nice a valentine as you can give.
For it was not into my ear you whispered, but into my heart. It was not my lips you kissed, but my soul.
Valentine's Day: Rubbing singles' noses in their lack of a mate and the noses of couples in their lack of time.
When I got old enough to date, I realized that Valentine's Day is just a commercial marketing scam to make men feel bad. So I let my boyfriends off the hook.
If you don't have a valentine, hang out with your girlfriends, don't go looking for someone. When it's right, they'll come to you.
My ideal Valentine's Day is spending it with someone you are in love with and for that someone to make you feel loved and appreciated.
