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!

Love is our true destiny. We do not find the meaning of life by ourselves alone - we find it with another.

Today is Valentine's Day - or, as men like to call it, Extortion Day!

I love bringing roses to a woman when she least expects it.

The Eskimos had fifty-two names for snow because it was important to them: there ought to be as many for love.

I'd rather have roses on my table than diamonds on my neck.

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.

The hours I spend with you I look upon as sort of a perfumed garden, a dim twilight, and a fountain singing to it. You and you alone make me feel that I am alive. Other men it is said have seen angels, but I have seen thee and thou art enough.

In love there are two things - bodies and words.

People value Halloween, like Valentine's Day, because they can tell themselves that it's not merely secularized but actually secular, which is to say, not Christian, Jewish, Hindu or Muslim.

Love shall be our token; love be yours and love be mine.

Every year of my life, my dad has sent me a Valentine's Day gift. Whether I was in the same house or across the country, he always sent something.

I get letters every year from women who think Valentine's Day is an empty exercise, but are ironically pretty exercised when their boyfriends neglect or forget it.

Soul meets soul on lovers' lips.

The art of listening is a vital component to a relationship that thrives every day of the year, making Valentine's Day so much sweeter.

It's funny, I was talking to somebody who writes for a cop show, and he was saying how they aren't allowed to acknowledge Christmas, Thanksgiving, Valentine's Day, just because it has to be able to play forever.

So, fall asleep love, loved by me... for I know love, I am loved by thee.

I love romance. I'm a sucker for it. I love it so much. It's pathetic.

We are most alive when we're in love.

If I have learned anything, it is to keep my wife happy by sending her lavish gifts. Other men can learn from my success and send their wives and girlfriends fresh flowers for birthdays, anniversaries, and of course, Valentine's Day.

I like doing something romantic with a girl on Valentine's Day, like making her dinner and keeping it simple. The more quality time, the better.

Once, I was out of the house 93 days in a year. I was missing grandparents' days at schools and kids' birthdays and Valentine's Day, not to mention the fact that when you're on the road, you can't get anything done. I had to learn to say 'No,' cut back on travel.

Every day in our house is like Valentine's Day. I've kept it traditional with what my dad has done with my mom. Every morning, I get up and I make coffee and I bring Giuliana coffee in bed.

Romance is thinking about your significant other, when you are supposed to be thinking about something else.

I don't know if there are many misconceptions. One is that my birthday is on Valentine's Day. It's on 7 June.

Oh, if it be to choose and call thee mine, love, thou art every day my Valentine!

I'm very Italian, so I love cooking for friends. Whether it's Valentine's Day and my boyfriend and girlfriends' boyfriends are away, or someone's in town, or someone had a baby, I cook.

I love Valentine's Day! I love it, I love it, I love it. I like having doors opened for me. My favorite romantic comedy is 'When Harry Met Sally.'

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.

My granddaddy on my momma's side, he was a romantic. He loved love songs. Every Valentine's Day, I remember him buying a red carnation for my grandmomma, my momma and my sister. That was something you could count on every year.

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.

I have never celebrated Valentine's Day in my life.

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.

Every Valentine's Day growing up, my dad would give me a strawberry cream-filled chocolate heart from Russell Stover.

I'm like the kid in kindergarten; I really do send valentines to everyone.

If you press me to say why I loved him, I can say no more than because he was he, and I was I.

Idealizing the reality of past romances won't do you any favors as you face Valentine's Day alone.

I have many valentines. My mom and my sister and my directors. I got calls from all of them. And my friends. I respect what Valentine's Day stands for because it is about love.

In a recent Valentine's Day posting on her fan website, Britney Spears says that - oh, who cares?

All you need is love. But a little chocolate now and then doesn't hurt.

A kiss makes the heart young again and wipes out the years.

I do not want horses or diamonds - I am happy in possessing you.

When you love someone all your saved up wishes start coming out.

Love will find a way through paths where wolves fear to prey.

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.

The best smell in the world is that man that you love.

To me, Valentine's Day is not merely limited to a lover but speaks of universal love.

New Year's Eve to Valentine's Day is our peak season, and in many ways, Valentine's Day is our Christmas. Everybody in the world makes the same three New Year's resolutions: health, career and money, and love.

I think diamonds represent luxury, indulgence, and class. So any time you can incorporate a gift that is synonymous with all those attributes, you know the other person will love it. I would challenge someone to find something that better represents Valentine's Day more than diamonds!

Valentine's Day is the biggest single day of the year, the biggest sale day of the year.

That's one of those things about being a computer science major: Valentine's Day is just another day.

Everything's coming up roses - for me.

Each time you love, love as deeply as if it were forever.

Where there is great love, there are always wishes.

Doubt thou the stars are fire, Doubt that the sun doth move. Doubt truth to be a liar, But never doubt I love.

For it was not into my ear you whispered, but into my heart. It was not my lips you kissed, but my soul.

It's funny, I was talking to somebody who writes for a cop show, and he was saying how they aren't allowed to acknowledge Christmas, Thanksgiving, Valentine's Day, just because it has to be able to play forever.

I don't find these technical things like flowers and chocolates romantic at all. I think Valentine's Day makes no sense.

I hope what's different for not only the channel 'It's Grace' 2014, but for the brand overall, is I hope to continue to expand into other areas of creative content and original content. We have 'Camp Takota' coming out on Valentine's Day - we're all so pumped for it! It's so exciting!

A friendship that like love is warm; A love like friendship, steady.

Look, there's no metaphysics on earth like chocolates.

How did it happen that their lips came together? How does it happen that birds sing, that snow melts, that the rose unfolds, that the dawn whitens behind the stark shapes of trees on the quivering summit of the hill? A kiss, and all was said.

Kisses are a better fate than wisdom.

Valentine's day has been reduced to a marketing gimmick. Buying diamonds for your beloved has no appeal for me.

The minute I heard my first love story, I started looking for you, not knowing how blind that was. Lovers don't finally meet somewhere. They're in each other all along.

My birthday is two days before Valentine's Day so it has always been about that rather than romance.

Love is when the desire to be desired takes you so badly that you feel you could die of it.

If you have only one smile in you give it to the people you love.

This is love: to fly toward a secret sky, to cause a hundred veils to fall each moment. First to let go of life. Finally, to take a step without feet.

When I retired from the NFL, my son was born on my birthday two weeks later, which is Valentine's Day. Imagine having a son born on your birthday.

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.

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

I'm not really a fan of Valentine's Day. I think it can be romantic doing nothing on Valentine's Day. It's more romantic than being given a big bunch of flowers that everyone else is doing.

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 love Valentine's Day because it's a fun day to show not only your significant other some love, but also your girlfriends and close family that you're caring for and thinking of them.

The heart has its reasons of which reason knows nothing.

I'd kiss a frog even if there was no promise of a Prince Charming popping out of it. I love frogs.

I hate Valentine's day. It is a day for nothing but disappointment.

It is the passion that is in a kiss that gives to it its sweetness; it is the affection in a kiss that sanctifies it.

I'm bad on Valentine's Day, but even worse on Christmas. I go shopping at nine o'clock on December 24th every year. Nobody else is there. I'm in Toys'R'Us all by myself. I get there five minutes before closing.

There's a long life ahead of you and it's going to be beautiful, as long as you keep loving and hugging each other.

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.

I like perfume and flowers.

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'll love you, dear, I'll love you till China and Africa meet and the river jumps over the mountain and the salmon sing in the street.

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.

What compels the Hindu right's volcanic reaction to Valentine's Day? Some of its members have protested that the holiday is the product of a 'rotten imported culture' from the West.

You are always new, the last of your kisses was ever the sweetest.

If you live to be a hundred, I want to live to be a hundred minus one day so I never have to live without you.

One of the major dangers of being alone in February is the tendency to dwell on past relationships. Whether you're daydreaming about that 'one that got away,' or you're recalling the fairy tale date you went on last Valentine's Day, romanticizing the past isn't helpful - nor accurate.

I remember being away somewhere, and I had forgotten it was Valentine's Day with a person, and that was very embarrassing.

When I was 19, I celebrated my first Valentine's Day while being in a relationship. I was so excited, but didn't know what the rules were. What should I get him, or was I even supposed to get him something?

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.

Especially around Valentine's Day, it's easy to find advice about sustaining a successful marriage, with suggestions for 'date nights' and romantic dinners for two. But as we spend more and more of our lives outside marriage, it's equally important to cultivate the skills of successful singlehood.

They invented hugs to let people know you love them without saying anything.

I know of only one duty, and that is to love.

If you can believe it, Hollywood wanted to change my birthdate. I was born after Valentine's Day, so they wanted to change it to February 14. A Latin lover should be born on Valentine's Day. I said no.

Valentine's Day itself, like most holidays in the modern era, has been heavily influenced by commercialism that focuses on the appeal of romantic fantasies.

When I was in the seventh grade, I had a girlfriend. I used to save up some of my pocket money to get her gifts on Valentine's Day.

Any guy hates Valentine's Day. Even if you're in love, you can't win on Valentine's Day. If you're married, you can't win on Valentine's Day. Valentine's Day is like the thing you want to avoid at all costs.
