Valentine\u2019s Day is celebrated not only in America but also Canada, Mexico, the United Kingdom, France, and Australia. \u00a0However, referring to February 14th<\/sup> as \u2018Valentine\u2019s Day<\/a>,\u2019 is not entirely accurate.\u00a0 The complete name of the celebration is \u2018St. Valentine\u2019s Day\u2019 in honor of St. Valentine who either died or was buried in mid-February of 720 A.D.<\/p>\n

In honor of St. Valentine, we send approximately 150 million Valentine\u2019s Day cards every year, the most greeting cards exchanged after Christmastime.\u00a0 Though some of our Americanized Valentine\u2019s Day traditions are a bit hokey, I\u2019ve compiled a list of some of the most endearing, heart-wrenching quotes about love.\u00a0 Read \u2018em and weep.<\/p>\n

Elizabeth Barrett Browning<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\u201cHow Do I love Thee?\u00a0 Let me count the ways.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Browning was a prominent British\u00a0poet<\/a>\u00a0of the Victorian Movement in England. \u00a0The line below, one of poetry’s best-known, is from one of her Sonnets from the Portuguese and was written about her dramatic romance with fellow poet Robert Browning. \u00a0History.com\u00a0awards the couple the title of one of the three great romances in American history.<\/p>\n

Aristotle<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\u201cLove is composed of a single soul inhabiting two bodies.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The great Greek philosopher and polymath, who was Plato’s pupil and Alexander the Great’s teacher. \u00a0Aristotle addresses the topic of love and friendship in his writings on ethics. \u00a0His quote below describes his\u00a0philosophy<\/a>\u00a0of the special love two people find in each other’s virtues.<\/p>\n

Ingrid Bergman<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\u201cA kiss is a lovely trick, designed by nature, to stop words when speech becomes superfluous.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Swedish-born Hollywood star in the 1940s and 50s. \u00a0Bergman’s<\/a>\u00a0most revered role is arguably in\u00a0the infamous 1942 World War II romance\u00a0Casablanca<\/em>\u00a0in which she starred alongside Humphrey Bogart. \u00a0Given the film has been named the most romantic movie of all time, it’s highly appropriate Bergman’s quote makes this list.<\/p>\n

Zora Neale Hurston<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\u201cLove makes your soul crawl out of its hiding place.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

A leading\u00a0writer<\/a>\u00a0of early twentieth century African-American literature. \u00a0A main player in the Harlem Renaissance, Hurston has influenced the likes of Toni Morrison and Alice Walker.<\/p>\n

Antoine de Sainte-Exupery<\/strong><\/h3>\n

“Life has taught us that love does not consist in gazing at each other but in looking outward in the same direction.\u2028”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

A French artistocrat, aviator, writer, and poet in the early 1900s. \u00a0In addition to winning numerous literary awards,\u00a0Sainte-Exupery\u00a0was a pilot in the Spanish Civil War and World War II. \u00a0 While living the United States for a few years, he wrote several books including his most famous, “The Little Prince.” \u00a0He disappeared somewhere over the Mediterranean during a mission for the French air squadron.<\/p>\n

Truthfully, there have been so many beautiful things said about love from all kinds of people, including writers, poets, actors, philosophers, musicians, etc. \u00a0Don’t agree with my list? \u00a0In your opinion, am I leaving your favorite one? \u00a0Please share your favorite romantic quote below in the comments! \u00a0Oh, and Happy Valentine’s Day!<\/p>\n
