65 Valentine's Day Quotes to Share With Everyone You Love

Hopeless romantics, take it from Ree and Ladd Drummond: Love is real. The two became smitten 23 years ago, and two eventful decades, five wonderful kids, and seven cute dogs later, not much has changed. (Besides, well, the kids and the dogs.) They're still very much in love.

This year, consider taking a minute or two to honor the love stories in your own life by reading through some of the Valentine's Day quotes, lines from romantic movies, and song lyrics compiled here. Maybe you just need a cute and silly Valentine's Day pun to text your friends on February 14—like, say, this quote from Charles M. Schulz: "All you need is love. But a little chocolate now and then doesn't hurt." Or perhaps you're looking for something a little more serious and romantic to add to a DIY Valentine's Day card or Valentine's Day caption for your sweetheart, like this wise saying, attributed to Aristotle: "Love is composed of a single soul inhabiting two bodies." (Swoon!)

Either way, you really can't go wrong with the words on this list—reading them to your sweetie is just a fun Valentine's Day activity in and of itself. Anyway, heck, forget Valentine's Day! These words are inspiring and romantic enough to keep you and your special someone feeling the love all year long.
