Smack-dab in the middle of an otherwise dreary winter, there’s a holiday that’s so uplifting and heartwarming that it feels as if love is in the air everywhere. While Christmas and Thanksgiving are all about food and family, Valentine’s Day is a holiday when we focus first and foremost on the one that we love, whether it’s a boyfriend, girlfriend, wife, husband, partner, or another loved one. And one way to show them that you really care? Valentine’s Day quotes, and lots of ‘em.
There are so many ways to celebrate Valentine’s Day, whether it’s sharing a romantic meal, planning a creative activity, cozying up to a lovey-dovey movie, or giving a gift from the heart. But to really level things up, pull out one of these thoughtful Valentine’s Day quotes.
Write a few down on a piece of paper and slip it into their bag or lunch for the day. Add some to a card that they’ll display on their desk for months to come. Personalize a gift with a quote, such as a photo album or piece of jewelry. Or, after you’ve put up the pink and red decorations and savored a dessert or two, simply read these romantic Valentine’s Day quotes together for the warmest and fuzziest holiday around.

Love is our true destiny. We do not find the meaning of life by ourselves alone - we find it with another. For it was not into my ear you whispered, but into my heart. It was not my lips you kissed, but my soul.
Wishing you a beautiful day filled with all the love and happiness you deserve. You're the only person I send heart eye emojis to. Valentine, you take my breath away, every single day. It's just one day in the year, but you should know that I love you every day and every moment.
"Love is not just looking at each other, it's looking in the same direction." - Antoine de Saint-Exupéry. "Love is like a rose, it starts as a seed and blooms into something beautiful." "The greatest happiness you can have is knowing that you do not necessarily require happiness." - William Saroyan.
"To love and be loved is the most natural expression of our being.” "Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind.” "Love will find a way through paths where wolves fear to prey.” "Love is the ultimate truth at the heart of the universe and transcends all boundaries.”
Love is supposed to be based on trust, and trust on love, it's something rare and beautiful when people can confide in each other without fearing what the other person will think. Magic existed in his eyes, his energy as he lived his daily life.
That we may rejoice and be glad all our days.O God of Love, blessed are we,bearing in our hearts a deep desire to love,understanding full well how we fall short.

To my friend-Valentine: Thank you for all you do to make my life wonderful! Happy Galentine's Day to my favorite girlfriends! Wishing you all a beautiful, love-filled day. Wishing a very happy Valentine's Day to the person who always has my back.
