Here’s a few quotes about the day:

“The heart has its reasons of which reason knows nothing” -- Blaise Pascal, philosopher
“Love will find a way through paths where wolves fear to prey,” -- Lord Byron, poet
“Love is a smoke made with the fume of sighs” --William Shakespeare, author

“All you need is love. But a little chocolate now and then doesn’t hurt” -- Charles M. Schulz, creator of “Peanuts”
“For it was not into my ear you whispered, but into my heart. It was not my lips you kissed, but my soul” -- actress Judy Garland
“How did it happen that their lips came together? How does it happen that birds sing, that snow melts, that the rose unfolds, that the dawn whitens behind the stark shapes of trees on the quivering summit of the hill? A kiss, and all was said” -- author Victor Hugo
“Love has no desire but to fulfill itself. But if you love and must needs have desires, let these be your desires; To melt and be like a running brook that sings its melody to the night. To know the pain of too much tenderness. To be wounded by your own understanding of love; And to bleed willingly and joyfully” -- Kahlil Gibran, The Prophet
