Valentine Thoughts

Here are some thoughts I find relate well to Valentine's Day

You have to walk carefully in the beginning of love; the running across fields into your lover's arms can only come later when you're sure they won't laugh if you trip.
~Jonathan Carroll, "Outside the Dog Museum"

Love is a symbol of eternity. It wipes out all sense of time, destroying all memory of a beginning and all fear of an end.
~Unknown

Gravitation is not responsible for people falling in love.
~Albert Einstein

I don't understand why Cupid was chosen to represent Valentine's Day. When I think about romance, the last thing on my mind is a short, chubby toddler coming at me with a weapon.
~Unknown

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.
~Unknown

A bell is no bell 'til you ring it,
A song is no song 'til you sing it,
And love in your heart
Wasn’t put there to stay
Love isn’t love
'Til you give it away.
~Oscar Hammerstein, Sound of Music, "You Are Sixteen (Reprise)"

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.
~To Lady, Tramp

kisses are a better fate
than wisdom.
~e.e. cummings

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