“There are two basic motivating forces: fear and love. When we are afraid, we pull back from life. When we are in love, we open to all that life has to offer with passion, excitement, and acceptance. We need to learn to love ourselves first, in all our glory and our imperfections. If we cannot love ourselves, we cannot fully open to our ability to love others or our potential to create. Evolution and all hopes for a better world rest in the fearlessness and open-hearted vision of people who embrace life.”

~ John Lennon

 “Let's forgive someone for Valentines day, it's a great way to show love, and forgive yourself too for the hurt you held onto.”

~ Jay Woodman

“Valentine, just a few words to tell you how I love you. I have loved you since the first day I saw you. Whenever that was.”

~ Charles M. Schulz

“What a lover’s heart knows let no man’s brain dispute.”

~ Aberjhani, Visions of a Skylark Dressed in Black

“That's when you know for sure somebody loves you. They figure out what you need and they give it to you -- without you asking.”

~ Adriana Trigiani, Very Valentine
