14 of My Favorite Love Quotes Just in Time for Valentine’s Day

Valentine’s Day.  Not a big deal in the MIS household.  Vishnu’s philosophy has always been that we should show and celebrate our love all the time. More than that, he believes Valentine’s Day is a Hallmark holiday aimed to sucker people into spending $$$.

When we first started dating all those years ago, I was a little offended that he didn’t want to celebrate with me.  But when he explained his reasoning, I was on board…albeit a little hesitantly at first!

So while we won’t be celebrating with a fancy dinner out or flowers and chocolates, I can’t help but share my favorite love quotes with you all today. I’m still very much a romantic at heart and always will be!

Enjoy and happy love day/weekend, y’all!

4. Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.

It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. – 1 Corinthians 13:4-7

After
All this time
The Sun never says to the Earth,
“You owe me.”
Look
What happens
With a love like that,
It lights the whole sky.

14. “If you love something, love it completely, cherish it, say it, but most importantly, show it. Life is finite and fragile, and just because something is there one day, it might not be the next. Never take that for granted. Say what you need to say, then say a little more. Say too much. Show too much. Love too much. Everything is temporary but love. Love outlives us all.” – R.Queen
