VALENTINE'S DAY QUOTES II
quotations about Valentine's Day
I have to say that Valentine's Day is a totally ridiculous holiday. Any holiday where you don't get a paid day off of work is totally wrong to begin with. Furthermore, the number of people who are depressed by the Valentine's Day hooplah is far greater than the number of people who actually enjoy it.
DELPHINE HIRSH
The Girls' Guide to Surviving a Break-Up
Happy Valentine's Day to those who have found love, in whatever shape or form, and to those who are still hunting, don't give up. If you feel bad, send yourself a card. You must be worth it.

"Valentines Day: 20 Quotes to Say I Love You", International Business Times, February 13, 2014
Doubt thou the stars are fire;
Doubt that the sun doth move;
Doubt truth to be a liar;
But never doubt I love.
WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE
Hamlet
To me, modern day Valentine's Day is about as romantic as Roman men picking names from a bucket. It's a day for people who need an excuse to feel in love. People who need a day to put aside all their issues and go out for dinner and hold hands and post a photo on Instagram to show everyone how happy they are.

"Valentine's Day is a dumb holiday and you know it", Charlotte Agenda, February 2, 2017
I've dreamed of this a thousand times before
in my dreams I couldn't love you more
I will give you my heart
until the end of time
you're all I need, my love, my Valentine
MARTINA MCBRIDE
"Valentine"
Valentine's Day is the one day when partners try to make up for their lack of romance on other days by going big when everyone's watching.

What's Valentine's Day about except the desperate search to find someone to spend Valentine's Day with? It just shows that love has become a marketing campaign, like everything else. You buy into it and lose everything.
DAVID LEVITHAN
Marly's Ghost
What I'd like to know is how many fights/breakups/divorces occur because of Valentine's Day compared to other days of the year? The men sit at home and wait in fear in case they've done the wrong thing. The women who didn't receive flowers at work rush home snarling. There's so much pressure on relationships on Valentine's Day its practically unbearable. People all over the world are pushed into proposing when they're not quite ready. I know this for a fact because I see them a few months down the line (they're the guys who hit the office mid-March with the scared, wild-horse-like eyes that flick all over the room searching for exit points).

Hating Valentine's Day
Valentine's Day is like society collectively deciding to be politically incorrect toward single people.

For Valentine's Day, some KFCs are letting you send a loved one a heart-shaped bucket of fried chicken. And even better, if you really hate someone, you can send them two buckets.

If you go to Penn Station after work on Valentine's Day, you can watch hordes of men panic en masse when they realize they don't have enough time to purchase a single cellophane-wrapped rose and make their train.

While fewer are planning to celebrate Valentine's Day this year, millions of shoppers will still make room in their budgets to spoil their loved ones.

Shower your spouse with love on a daily basis, for when it comes to love, everyday is Valentine's Day.

It's been projected that Americans will spend over $13 billion this Valentine's Day. And guys who forget Valentine's Day will spend over $100 billion.

Valentine's Day is different. It's about the two of you. And no matter how you justify it by thinking it's a day of love in general, it's not. Yes, you can buy Valentine's Day cards for your son or daughter, mother and father, co-workers and friends to try to make it better. But there's really no escaping what it really is--a holiday for lovers.
BONNIE KAYE
Bonnie Kaye's Straight Talk
I learned the truth at seventeen
That love was meant for beauty queens
And high school girls with clear skinned smiles
Who married young and then retired
The valentines I never knew
The Friday night charades of youth
Were spent on one more beautiful
At seventeen I learned the truth...
JANIS IAN
"At Seventeen"
Because women are so into relationships, Valentine's Day is one of the most important days of the year for them. We men tend to brush it off because guys don't tend to think about a special "love day." We also tend to forget Christmas and Thanksgiving and her birthday and our anniversary, which is a horrible way to treat God's gift to us. They deserve so much better than a last-minute rush of a shopping trip. We don't mean to forget, we just do.

I feel bad for people who die on Valentine's Day. How much would flowers cost then? Ten grand?
