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.

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
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

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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).

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

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.

Valentine's Day: the day women all around the world wait eagerly to discover the new and wonderful ways their husbands and boyfriends will disappoint them.

Guess what? There's no law saying you must celebrate Valentine's Day. Not since the last time I checked, anyway. If you find Valentine's Day painful, corny, commercial, or plain old irritating, ignore it. Abracadabra, Valentine's Day is gone. Poof!

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.

I enjoyed some high school Valentine's Day dances. But there were other times when I stood against the wall, wondering why no one wanted to boogie with me. And as a single young woman, I had years when the holiday meant long-stemmed roses and candlelight dinners and others that saw me playing Solitaire until bedtime.

My wife and I won't be celebrating Valentine's Day this year. Valentine's Day is about romance and 15 years together has tested that particular fantasy -- like many others -- to the limit. Real life has the upper hand.

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