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.
A. A. Milne
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.
Aberjhani
I know of only one duty, and that is to love.
Albert Camus
I don't find these technical things like flowers and chocolates romantic at all. I think Valentine's Day makes no sense.
Alia Bhatt
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.
Amity Shlaes
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.
Amy Morin
Idealizing the reality of past romances won't do you any favors as you face Valentine's Day alone.
In a recent Valentine's Day posting on her fan website, Britney Spears says that - oh, who cares?
Amy Poehler
Each time you love, love as deeply as if it were forever.
Audre Lorde
Is Valentine's Day a day to make cupcakes with your children? No, Valentine's is supposed to be a day about romantic love.
Ayelet Waldman
They invented hugs to let people know you love them without saying anything.
Bil Keane
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.
Bill Rancic
The heart has its reasons of which reason knows nothing.
Blaise Pascal
It's hard to think it's important to try out as cheerleader when you're starring on Broadway. But you do kind of miss the things that I now see my children doing. I'm just happy they are not actors. The Valentine's Day dance is really important. Pitching in Little League is very important. And the medals and the scouts are really important.
Bonnie Bedelia
I remember being away somewhere, and I had forgotten it was Valentine's Day with a person, and that was very embarrassing.
Bradley Cooper
I think Valentine's Day is one of those holidays like New Year's where people develop such high expectations that even if it's a decent day, it doesn't live up, and it's disappointing.
Brett Young
I'd kiss a frog even if there was no promise of a Prince Charming popping out of it. I love frogs.
Cameron Diaz
I enjoy celebrating Valentine's Day. It's a nice way to say you're thinking about your family, someone special, or dear friends.
Camila Alves
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.
Candice Swanepoel
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?
Carly Craig
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.
All you need is love. But a little chocolate now and then doesn't hurt.
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!
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.
Love shall be our token; love be yours and love be mine.
I do not want horses or diamonds - I am happy in possessing you.
For Valentine's Day, I wrote my crush a song and had it professionally recorded. I never released it, though, because I wanted it to be a song just for her. I thought it would be more special that way.
Valentine's Day is one of those tricky celebrations where you're damned if you do and damned if you don't. If you love it, you're buying into a holiday created to sell greeting cards, bad bouquets, and shoddy love-themed stuffed animals. And if you're opposed to it, you're considered lonely and single and have clearly never had a valentine.
Mother's Day is a torment if your mother is dead. Valentine's Day is a torment if you don't got one. And at some point in our lives, we will be tormented by Valentine's Day even if we're relatively lucky in love.
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.
January is the best time of year for gym owners. You all come. It's great! And then, by Valentine's Day, you're not coming in anymore.
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!
To me, Valentine's Day is not merely limited to a lover but speaks of universal 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 perfume and flowers.
I love romance. I'm a sucker for it. I love it so much. It's pathetic.
Kisses are a better fate than wisdom.
When you love someone all your saved up wishes start coming out.
Every Valentine's Day, I pretend I don't care. Like many of us, I say I don't want the flowers or chocolates or a homemade card. How cheesy. I pretend that it's over-the-top to want the person you like to make you a ridiculously nice dinner, or do some showy gesture, ala John Cusack with the boombox in 'Say Anything.'
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.
I think they should create a holiday for friends-with-benefits relationships. Because I feel like Valentine's Day is, maybe it's a day to stay home and cry.
I love sushi. Once on Valentine's Day, someone I was dating rocked up at the airport to pick me up with a bag of salmon because I love it so much.
I'd rather have roses on my table than diamonds on my neck.
Valentine's Day: Rubbing singles' noses in their lack of a mate and the noses of couples in their lack of time.
I love bringing roses to a woman when she least expects it.
Everything's coming up roses - for me.
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.
Look, there's no metaphysics on earth like chocolates.
A heart is not judged by how much you love, but by how much you are loved by others.
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.
